It's common that sellers have no idea of style names and even when they do, they'll often use multiple keywords to try to get extra exposure by naming everything buyers might search for.

It's not reliable to assume that style names used by sellers are accurate.

(You're correct. That bag is a kilty.)
What say you, friend? Old prototype???

I'd add a picture but not sure how to do it. Thanks for helping!

I'll leave it to BeenBurned to determine authenticity, but it looks like the real thing to me.

Regarding cleanup, in my opinion you might be able to remove some of the exterior soil with proper techniques. The British Tan trim can be spruced up with leather conditioner. However, the ink marks inside will not come out.

Comment: At first glance this looks completely authentic, but a closer look at the interior (flap is lined) and the duck emblem (not stitched evenly) makes me wonder.
I believe the bag is authentic. The duck patch with the uneven border appears to be a mistake. There are too many other details that in combination point to authentic.
