I've been watching Libertystore and finding more and more fakes.

I'm wondering about this one.
My concerns:
1. appearance of a border around parts of the serial number
2. Slight difference in spacing or characters in serial number as compared to a known authentic bag from same month/year/plant. (Side by side comp included.)

Is this bag genuine or a close fake? TIA.

To me the fonts look exactly the same. I think the difference is how deeply each one was stamped and how soft ot thick the leather was. The only concern I'd have would be the lack of a "base" on the number 1., and that could happen if a digit was damaged and temporarily or permanently replaced.

ETA - checking my files, there are a LOT of differences in the fonts of the style numbers from the 1996 H plant. Almost all of them seem to have some slight differences in size or other details. A few examples:

[victoriajv]

Hello! Can someone tell me if this is an authentic bag? Thank you!

 

[BeenBurned]

@victoriajv - I quoted you but it didn't show.

Welcome to TPF!

Style 10341 has some of the closest fakes we've seen so anyone considering this style needs to be careful.

Please post a couple of additional pictures. I'd like to see a full picture of the back of the bag, a closeup of the center back where the strap (that goes over the top of the bag) attaches to the back and a picture of the side pockets.

Wait for someone who knows the style, but WTF is with the 1-cent price reduction sticker ??? That would be a major red flag for me - is any US retailer that clueless? Not to mention that it's also upside down.

That style's also old enough to have a creed and serial number - I'd want to see both. LA street gangs are deeply involved in both the sale of counterfeits and small and large scale theft of designer items from highline stores, so the Cerritos location would be a concern.
