I thought this was a very good fake. Lol. Those embossed boxes around No. And E4 had me going!

It is one of the very few N plant code, made in US, creeds that is authentic. We discussed them here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/answers-to-authenticity-questions.94198/page-103#post-30303836

Item: British Tan Willis 9927
Seller: Goodwill, $6.99
Comments: It looked and felt genuine to me but the creed patch is different from the vintage Coach bags that I used to buy. My guess is that it is a newer Willis made in 2013 - if I am reading the serial number correctly. Please give me your opinion and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yes, it's a remake from 2013. It looks genuine.

Thanks. They look very similar but I see the Bristol is a bit larger. I've seen Savoys listed as Bristols. Did the Savoy come first only had a serial number that didn't identify the style number?

A few Madisons were either made in late 1993 or the plant didn't have the new serial number stamps yet and had to use the old ones.

And like we've said many times - don't ever expect most sellers to know the names, style numbers, age or designer of the Coaches they sell.
