Hello ladies, would you authenticate this surrey, please? Thank you! I am in love with this sporty-looking strap - have never seen one IRL.

Item: Small Surrey
Seller: Savers (in my possession)
Dimensions: about 7 1/2 square x 3, 21 strap drop max
Comments: Back of rivets are blank, buckles are stamped solid brass; is this characteristic of the earlier bags since this one's an A series? I know there is a limit to details you can post - just curious :)

Authentic. The rivet backs were sometimes stamped, sometimes not, but I don't know the time frame on those.
ETA: yes, that strap is a great design, looks and comfort both.
 
Hoping someone can confirm this older bag is authentic. I did do some research and i believe it is a R718 vintage small tote however i cant find a single one this color. The ones i did find were two tone, where this one looks like it is all British Tan. any help with this bag would be appreciated

Welcome to the Purse Forum. It is indeed an authentic Small Vintage Tote. There's one here for comparison:
