You're welcome. For some reason I'm up in the middle of the night!
It "could" be authentic...though 2 pictures aren't enough to tell for sure...at least for me.
It's really, really "used" and the leather on the front piping appears to be worn clear through.
That 7 digit serial number is probably from later 1980's - 1993.
thanks ladies have saved this seller for future reference! Will save me having to post authentication questions
Another quick question do you guys find much of a difference size wise between a willis and station bag?? Most of the measurements I am seeing are only about an inch difference so I may just go with a station bag if I can manage to win this one
It really depends on how much you'll be carrying. Since I usually use full-size wallets or a medium-sized one along with a checkbook and cover, the Station Bag is just a bit too small when I add in the phone, 2 sets of keys, driving glasses, and a few basic makeup items. If you don't need all that room, the Station Bag may be ok. Just remember that the top is narrow too so you need to organize the inside so you can put your hand on any item you're looking for with your eyes closed. The pockets in older bags weren't really made with cell phones in mind either. And remember that the Station Bag doesn't have an outside back pocket, although the front pocket under the flap is gusseted where the under-flap front pocket on the Willis is flat.

Thanks, I'm not too picky about the cell pocket since all my purses that do have cell pockets my phone doesn't fit in themSo until they make pockets large enough for iphones/blackberry's I can do without the pocket. That's why I bought a betsey johnson case for my phone to prevent screen scratching.
I normally carry a wallet, my cellphone, small makeup bag (though I can do without it and just bring the lipgloss or lipstick I am wearing that day), and my keys. Sometimes I carry my ipod touch with me and if I am traveling or am going out someplace and need it I bring my camera.
