This ends in a few minutes. The creed looks really odd.

Thanks.

There's an even worse serial stamping here with the same prefix:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Authe...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

but I'm not completely sure if either of them are fake. I wouldn't feel comfortable reporting either one without more evidence.

Would appreciate an expert opinion on these bags.

When searching for other bags with the same 1417 style number came cross this bag, wondering if the strap was replaced?

1- genuine

2- yes, the strap has been swapped. It may be a good copy of a real Coach strap, or it might be from one of the many Duffles Coach made. I've done that myself. The bag itself looks ok.

3- genuine

I know pilot bags have a p (after?) the style number but I have been seeing style serials with a letter thrown in, ie 8A11. Is this something legitimate? These bags look real to me but I am not familiar with with style serials with a letter. Very curious, would love to know.
Thanks.

Those all look fine.

Until last week, I don't think I'd see fakes with that type of style number. But there was one posted last week. I saved the picture of the creed.

The bag in the listing above is authentic. In this case, the seller describes it as "NWOT" or "new without tags." It may or may not actually be new. (I don't know the seller and I don't know the history of that bag.) (I thought I'd already authenticated it!)

The bag may very well be new however many sellers have been known to describe used or lightly used bags as new. If they think they can get away with it and it doesn't appear to have been used, many sellers think a new bag will garner them a higher sale price.

OTOH, there are legitimate cases of NOS (new old stock) where the bag might be unused but not a current style.
1. Impulse buyers and/or compulsive shoppers might buy something thinking they'll use it and finally, after years of it sitting in a closet, decide to sell it
2. Coach's liberal return policy allows customers to return unused items anytime, without an expiration date. So an older style might show up at a Coach store as a return and be sent to the outlet
3. Coach might do periodic inventory cleanouts and find older items in their warehouses and either send them to the outlets or to discounters.

So the age of the bag and whether it's new or not is not a determining factor re authenticity.

Okay Beenburned you helped me with the first bag and now I understand why the creed is different, and understand the nwt thing, my last question is I found an identical one, but this one has a beige colored creed, where the first had a dark brown one. Does that matter? Here are the two ads together to compare:

Item: RARE & HTF COACH CAMEL &BRITISH TAN LEATHER "CARLY" BAG ~ 10616P ~ NWOT $498
Item no: 251358282240
Seller: 24chevylover
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251358282240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649

or

Item: Coach 10616 Leather Large Carly Purse Bag Handbag in Camel Leather NWT
Item no: 251374951816
Seller:madison321233
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251374951816?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This is my last question before I decide. Sorry for bugging you to death, but for the price, I don't want to get screwed. ;)

Thanks, BB.
That fake was referred by me. Get wigged out with that letter in there.
Do I need to go to the name that Coach thread to learn about these types serial numbers? If someone would point me in the right direction or a link, I'd appreciate it.
