I don't have a picture of 9931 but it is described as a ziptop with a front pocket. I don't think there was a Chelsea collection in 1994. In the completed listings, there is a fake Taft and a fake turnlock bag with the same style number. I've seen a lot of fakes with the number C4C-9931. I think the one in this listing is the correct style for this style number. I can't be sure it is authentic. The creed is unreadable.

9931 is a Lewiston Bag, picture below, NOT a Chelsea Turnlock and doesn't have a turnlock at all.
In Completeds, this listing is fake and is neither a 9931 or a genuine Taft Bag:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-PURSE...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
This fake is a ripoff of the Taft Bag which should be style number 9980 but the zipper is TOTALLY wrong and would never be extended so far past the end of the bag, the underside of the strap shouldn't be a different color than the top, the stitchng and inside zipper are wrong, and the strap should have FOUR buckle holes, never just three. Please report.
This Completed listing with a turnlock is probably fake but since there's no photo of the creed stamp it's hard to prove it - the rivet at the strap mounting is NOT a Coach detail though:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-WOMEN...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Neither the strap end or the mounting tab it's fastened to should ever have rivets on this kind of genuine Coach. Coach straps also don't use squared-off ends, they use rounded ends to prevent the ends from fraying or coming apart. Seller also lists the style number in the serial number as -9931 but the genuine style 9931 is very different and has a top zipper, NOT a front flap or turnlock.
This listing is genuine: 130857602232

Comments: I believe this to be fake, but didn't want to report until checking with you all. I see it has a bid on it and would hate for someone to waste their money.

Whateve & Hyacinth, THANK YOU BOTH! I should have just asked before!
:worthy:
You guys are the best!
Has your friend received it yet? I'd feel more comfortable authenticating the pictures of the actual bag since the seller used a stock picture for the gallery (main) photo and I'm not sure her other pictures (and photos in other listings) are her own.
When sellers have a variety of backgrounds and photographing styles, it's hard to tell whether what you see is what you get.
So far, the first one doesn't show any red flags. If you can post a creed pic, that would help confirm.
You're right, it's fake. The number is on the fakes list, it has that elephant skin leather and a bunch of other things wrong.
I just FB messaged her to ask. What is the most important parts of the bag to photograph when trying to ID them this way? I figured creed patch, hang tag, zipper/zipperpull, etc.
EDITED TO ADD: I asked her if she could take some pics, like of the creed patch, etc. She said there was no creed patch...

Show creed (if there is one in that bag), lining/interior, strap and clip and closeup of the front closure.
The pictures shown seem okay but I want to make sure that's what she received.
I just edited my post above - she said there was no creed patch. I have a feeling I might be the bearer of bad news here.
