Hi,
I have one more bag that I'd like to get authenticated, please.
I love the color so I'm hoping it's not a fake. The creed picture came out blurry but I'll be glad to take more if you need them.
Thank you.

Can you just verify what I'm seeing for the serial number - K7M-9076?

And is the color as bright a blue as it looks like in the photos?

Please authenticate and a name if you know it plus approximate year for the olive one. I think the navy one is a city bag - I don't think it has ever been used. The olive one is 8" long, 6 1/2" tall, and 2 1/2" deep.

Good grief! Here we are helping buyers (and maybe sellers) by offering our authentication services for FREE and on our own FREE time and we're accused of sarcasm, condescension and having a bad day.

I hope and pray you aren't a seller who some day has a listing removed that happens to be an authentic bag. Then again, if it happened, maybe then you'd understand the reason why we react as we do.

Until you've been there, you don't know what it's like and probably never will.

You are certainly welcome to take your authentication requests elsewhere where you might have to pay anywhere from $7 to $25 for the services you get here for free. But if you do that, be sure that the person to whom you're paying your money knows whatever brand she'll be authenticating.

I am sure you realize that most who come here for help and guidance really do appreciate it. I may not ask about that much, but I do read this thread to learn as much as possible! Thank you for sharing!

You're very welcome.

I'd like to think that maybe that other poster was having a bad day. I hope her day got better.

A few more questions - there's what looks like some kind of oval stamp at the bottom of the creed. Can you tell what it is? Also I'm looking at the second and third photos - is the loose end of the strap what's shown at the upper right corner of photo #2? It looks like there's a squared-off piece of leather there that might be the strap end. And in the same photo, the leather "keeper" the small leather strip that holds the end of the strap after it's gone through the buckle - is it actually going through the loop at the end of the strap where the buckle attaches? If that description isn't clear, please let me know, it's about 2.75 inches down from the top edge of the third photo the way it appears on the tPF page and about 1.75 inches in from the right edge of the photo.

I'd also like to see a pic of the creed and inside pocket showing the top part of the pocket and the zipper - don't worry about getting any close-ups of the zipper itself. There are a few things about that bag that are raising questions in what's left of my brain cells.

A big problem is the plant code - AFAIK "M" was a code used by Costa Rica until that plant was closed in the early 2000s.

Both genuine, the navy one is a City Bag Spectator, and the olive is a Chauncey Bag style # 9897 from the Carriage Classics line and made around 1992.
