Thank you, @whateve , especially for lightning fast response. I’m concerned about paint/polish too and asked seller about it (waiting to hear). The storypatch seemed, idk, kind of unblemished for bag’s age… so I just wanted to get an authenticator opinion. As an education question, I feel like I remember reading it’s not uncommon/concerning for the number to be squished against the creed, am I remembering that right?

Yes, it isn't uncommon for the numbers to be too close to the creed or crooked. The number was on a different stamp than the creed wording and since it was done manually, there were variations. I find NYC creeds generally are deeply stamped and easy to read. It seems there are more problems with some of the 90s creeds fading away.

Looks authentic to me. What are your concerns? I would be very worried that it has been painted or shoe polished. It might just be the angle but the rivets look black to me.
