The creed is the leather patch that has text with where the bag is made and the materials it's made of. Most creeds also have serial numbers.
I'm making the following statement with a caveat: The serial number you posted looks correct for the bag BUT counterfeiters can and do often put valid serial numbers on fakes. That's why a picture of the actual creed is necessary.
Thanks again. Just waiting on the email with the pic to confirm it all looks ok. I hope it works out. I think this would be the leather bag I am hunting for.
