The first is most likely fake... ask for a close up of the hardware, and the red white and blue tag as well... also a close up of the mallard on the front...

the second one looks ok. Again... ask for close ups of the things I mentioned earlier...

and also ask for a pic of the bottom of both bags... if 4 or 6 feet.. probably real...

if 5... probably fake (unless a REALLY old dooney!)

Good Luck!

I am not sure this was answered so am doing it this way. Both bags are definitely without a doubt not real Dooneys. Sorry. AWL wallets are lined in smooth brown leather and have a rectangular stamp with Dooney&Bourke inside. Dooney handles don't have rivets in them. I could go on and on. Here a couple of thumbnails of those two points.
