It's not identical. That one seems like a copy of an Emmie flap. I bet I can guess your opinion!
ETA: did you notice they both have the same flaw in the Coach lozenge at the top?

The older bags that have the glued on serial numbers have creeds just like this.
ETA: notice other differences like the word Leatherware inside the Coach lozenge and the registered trademark symbol next to the word Coach.

I didn't report it but it is gone now. The one you found that was sold got good feedback from the buyer. She thought it was authentic.
Item: 9953 duffle
Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Aut...024?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c6a0f42a8
Item number:190757946024
Seller: lsacares
Comments: please authenticate- I'm not sure if the creed patch is visible enough, but the style and country are listed. Also I'm not sure if this means anything but in the picture (6) with the buckle it almost looks like the grommets are silver and the piece that goes through the grommet is pointed like the green duffle sac bag that i posted earlier that is most likely fake. But I'm not sure if just because the hardware looks the same it means this one is fake. Thanks in advance!

Is this authentic? I've never seen that color before, it's so pretty.
TIA!

Item: quincy flap bag
No. C4D 9919 (NO hyphen between them)
Hi Guys,
I'm new here, I apologize in advance if I'm doing this all wrong.
Can anyone help me authenticate a bag I just purchased? It looks right: great even seams, well scaled, nice leather, ykk zips. a teensy bit of green tarnish around the brass clasp, etc. But three things are curious:
1) no hyphen between the serial number sets.
2) when I take the pocket out and turn it over the raw leather has a whitish color to it. Possibly un-dyed?
3) the key fob doesn't say "coach leatherware" like the inner label, only "coach", one side well embossed, the other side lightly embossed. Possibly been switched?
I've found identical quincy flap bags with identical serial #'s -also without a hyphen. But none showing the back of the pocket.
Please advise...
Thanks!

Yes, it looks authentic to me but it is a duffle sac, not a Helen's Legacy.
This looks authentic to me. I have this bag in black. That color is rare. Did you get it?

I have several authentic bags that look like that on the back of the pocket. The hangtag could have been switched or they may have started using the hangtags without "Leatherware" by then. This bag was made in 1994, which was when they started the new numbering system. It is possible that the hyphen just didn't stamp. I don't think that is a problem. I am not sure of when the creed stopped having the word "Leatherware" at the top. There is another Quincy on ebay that was made a few months after yours and it doesn't have "Leatherware" in the lozenge. So, I think it is authentic but you should wait for confirmation.

There aren't enough pictures to authenticate. Maybe your pictures are too big to upload? You should resize them or upload them to a photo hosting site first.

By all means, I would wait for Hyacinth to confirm but, I dont think the real ones should be worn like this on the corners (I have one myself, goldish color)
Also the creed is not centered on the patch, and the fabric is the lining doesnt look like mine...
Thank you! Neither the lining nor the creed looked right to me. I've also owned the walnut and mahogany versions of this bag and this one looked off to me. I'll definitely wait before reporting.
