I've seen bullseyes on wallets periodically. If it's a full-priced wallet that ends up at the outlet, they stamp it with a bullseye. I've also had wallets with the tag attached.
This wallet looks okay to me.
Item: British Tan Willis 9927 (circa 1980, made in USA)
Seller: Savers Thrift Store $25
Dimensions: 10 high, 10.5 wide, 3.5 deep
Comments: Thank you to BeenBurned for the heads up about the Savers 50% off Presidents Day Sale! I had been eyeing this BT Willis because it is in pretty good shape but I passed because it was originally priced at $50, so I was thrilled to get it for only $25!
I will post more photos with the next message. The only real damage are some some ink marks dents in the leather on the inside zipper pouch. The creed is very faint and the dents make it very hard to read. I used eye shadow to highlight it and I will post the best pics I have. Please try to authenticate, thanks in advance for your help!

Item: Black Basic Bag 9455 (circa 1980, made in NYC)
Seller: Savers Thrift Store $6.50
Dimensions: 7” high, 10.5 wide, 2.5 wide
Comments: I also got this bag for half-off at the President’s Day Sale. It has some damage in that one of the straps is missing the leather loop fastener, but it was cheap and made in NYC with the glued in serial number, so I figured “what the heck!” I will post more photos in the next message, please authenticate, thank you!

You're welcome. I hope Hy and DemRam can tell you what you're hoping to hear.
You're welcome.
Listing number: Unusual Willis Bag 9927 (Costa Rica, 2002)
Source: Its a long story, see below!
Dimensions: 9.5 high, 10 wide, 4.5 deep
Comments: This is my first (and probably the last!) professional rehab job! A woman saw my friend carrying the black willis that I had rehabbed for her and told her that she had the same bag but it needed repair. She gave my friend her number and pleaded to have me call her.
On the phone she told me that the bag didnt have any rips, tears, or serious stains or wear problems it was just dirty and scuffed. When I saw the bag I was shocked. I would have passed it by at the thrift store no matter how cheap it was! It is really beat-up, the piping is worn through in several areas, the ends of the dowel rod are torn, the hangtag is missing, the turnlock is about to fall off, and it looks like she spilled a bottle of red nail polish inside of it (and got some of the outside too.)
I told her that I could clean it up and make it look it little better but that I couldnt fix the serious damage. She said that she got this bag in the military and carried it around the world with her and it has a great deal of sentimental attachment. She begged me to give it a try so I agreed.
Before I start this challenging project I would like to know what I am working with. The style number is correct for a willis but it is shorter and fatter that the usual willis bags I see. I am hoping that it is not fake on top of everything else?!
I will post more photos in the next message, thanks for your help!

I guess I forgot to hit submit, for the extra pics of the British Tan Willis, sorry! Oh no! Now that I see the creed highlighted - it looks like it has mis-spelled words! I couldn't make it out in the store!
