Five more bags. Help with authenticity very much appreciated :) To me, most look good but I want to be certain so I appreciate your help!
Thank you! :)

1. Item: Model 6003 (please ID also)
Link: http://vintagelovegirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/style-6003.html
Comments: I can't find this bag online anywhere. Not sure about it's authenticity. It has a silk or silk like material inside with the word Coach. I haven't seen this before.

2.Item:Convertible Clutch
Link: http://vintagelovegirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/convertible-clutch-new-york-city.html
Comments: Hyacinth, Thank you for the ID earlier. Just want to double check that it is authentic. The inside pocket round zip head and zip pull are silverish in color. Since the bag is quite old is it possible that someone replaced the zip head?

3.Item: 9870 Court Bag

4. Item: 9930 (Murphy Bag?)
Link: http://vintagelovegirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/murphy-9930.html
Comments: Super hard to get a clear picture of the creed but it does say D8U-9930 and it is made in Hungary.

5.Item: Station Bag 5130

This red Willis caught my eye, but the creed # says C3x-9927. There shouldn't be any creeds like this with the #3 (1993) in the first part right? I thought it began in 1994. If there are any exceptions to this though, I guess it would be good to know. It is a pretty bag!

Please read post #34 in the Answers Thread for an explanation of serial numbers. And no, the 3 doesn't stand for 1993. There's nothing wrong with that bag.

So far, no red flags but please request a post a picture of the creed. If the seller pulls the lining out of the bag, it's easier to get a photograph.

1- Chelsea Hobo and the lining is genuine

2- The zipper pull isn't right either but the entire zipper may have been replaced. I don't see any other problems.

3, 4 and 5- genuine

Fake, according to the photo from Coach. The Cs are much too big, the cutting & stitching of the creed is pretty bad and it's even stamped crooked. That style number should look like this photo.

The J3J- prefix is already known for showing up in fakes using style number -6818. It's probably safe to say that any bag with that prefix needs to be authenticated.

I just went back and re looked at the explanations in the answers thread, and I am confused because it does look like it says the #3 should be the year. I just want to better understand. Is there any way to identify the year on this bag if that first 3 means something else?

The number "3" on that creed is for the year 2003.

Coach didn't use the month -year - plant - style number format until 1994, so a bag made in 1993 will still have the old 7 digit "random serial number" format.

Yikes! That photo of the creed was NOT in the listing when I responded!

Yup, very fake.

(The same seller also has a fake Prada bag that she admits in the description is a knockoff.)

Avoid seller bonzuser_pxiub.

OH, now I understand. I didn't put "2 and 2" together on that part of it. THANK YOU for your patience and help.

Pity, I almost like the color combination in the fake better than the original. Oh well, such is life. Do either of you know what this bag was called? I'm not getting any results on the 'bay for that style number right now. Thanks again!
