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.
Not necessarily. It's a swingpack and they might or might not have creeds.

As I said, there aren't any red flags based on the pictures in the listing. I'm just not sure they're the actual item, thus I want to see what she received.

Note that swingpacks, wristlets, pouches, other smaller accessories items may or may not have creeds and those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

In this case, the lack of creed doesn't mean that the bag is fkae.
 
Not necessarily. There aren't creed patches in some small bags. In that case, there will probably me a label showing where it was made. She can show that.
I let her know that, and I think she's upset that it might be a fake, so I'm just slowly backing away from it for now. She was pretty convinced that it was 100% authentic, so I think when I requested more pictures she began to realize it's not as concrete as she'd like, if that makes sense. I told her I'm here if she needs help again, though.

Thank you, though, for your help. You guys have been awesome - I'm really new to this, and my eBay trigger finger has been a bit easier to fire than I'd like to admit.

I just looked at a bunch on ebay an I'm pretty sure they weren't made with a creed
 
I just caught a dash after the "No.", too - did they have those?
That isn't normally there but I have a bag from the same plant, same year, but different month, and it has that extra dash.

This listing which shows a creed one month later doesn't have the dash and has a different font.

This one from a year earlier has the extra dash:

Another thrift find that I am pretty sure is authentic, but it was surrounded by a whole bunch of very fake WillisNOTS, so I'd love some expert eyes on it ...
In my possession, brown Willis.
( I hope :o )
Thanks as always!

..I know I referenced my trigger-happy eBay finger right now. Totally happened again.

Can anyone give me info on this? Was it a good price?

Item: Vintage Coach Handbag
Listing number: 111064225300
Seller: jadethemonkey
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Handbag-/111064225300?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=c8NcN0fBF0z%252FfvlAmstp7G0GXcs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

It worries me. The "1" for the year code doesn't look right. Wait for another opinion.

I just caught a dash after the "No.", too - did they have those?

That isn't normally there but I have a bag from the same plant, same year, but different month, and it has that extra dash.

This listing is for the same bag, same year, same plant but from 3 months later. The 1 looks different and there's no dash.

Argh! How do I delete the wrong pic?
