Comment: This one has me stumped and intrigued. It looks beautiful and authentic, but no red, white & blue inside tag is pictured. The duck fob looks pretty good, but it doesn't have the textured area behind the duck. The feet aren't the same as the authentic ones I've seen, and there are only 4 of them, instead of the usual 5.

ALL the above are fake.

Regarding the last one, the dead giveaway is the inside pocket color and material.

So far, it looks good. But I'd like to see a picture of the inside pocket and design of that pocket. Based on the original style fob, if authentic, it's probably a pre-tag bag.

Seller: igcollector

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-D...303?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fc9e60cf

Comments: This bag seems similar to a kilty, but I checked on the horsekeeping site and couldn't figure out either the style or the time period - which I was guessing to be late 80's? Thanks for any help!

It looks similar in style (but not materials) to the East West Camera Bag pictured here:

It's authentic but I don't know the same or year.
