I think it's ok. There were a few "classic" bags made in Italy along with the Dakotas, Sheridans and Madisons right around 1993 and this is probably one of them. I'm not seeing any problems with the creed.

so i bought this bag in my eternal quest for the "perfect" carrier bag. it looked fine, was cheap, but had no clear photos. so i figured i've bought enough to know a carrier. imagine my surprise when i saw the creed!!! I'm assuming this is not authentic? who knew they faked even my beloved carriers?
link for what i presume is not an authentic carrier?

Oh, how sad! I guess there are bean bag creeds in a lot of styles we never considered. My bean bag basic bag has really nice leather. The zipper pull isn't brass but the zipper is brass colored. Do you see anything else on yours that doesn't look authentic?

the tabs are a bit thinner, the 'brass' not brass, the shape is maybe 90% right, but not 100% spot on. i was tempted to keep it but a) i knew i could never sell it; and b) the fact that it wasn't 'authentic' just bothered me no end, even though it was remarkably well made -- thick leather, etc. the person from whom i bought it was quite gracious and took it back immediately. i was just stunned, though, since i think i have seen dozens of these bags, and have never seen a fake one before. i guess no bag is immune.
