@BeenBurned realized you may have seen these pics. I store my belt bags with the straps removed and tucked inside so I just didn’t put it back on for these pics since we weee doing color comparisons!
So you know, buyers are notorious for NOT reading descriptions and showing a bunch of bags that aren't part of the listing is a dispute waiting to happen, IMO.

Thanks so much for your quick reply! I thought so, but wasn't quite sure about the tan trim by the tag that looked a little thin. It also looks like there's very slight black trim edging that bleeded onto the leather on one of the bottom corners, which may be why the tag was cut and bag may have been sold as damanged.

Thanks again, and have a great day!

Hi. Can anyone authentic this bag, please. It looks real to me but we are thrown by the city below the D.B. and the hangtag.

Name: no idea? This one seems fairly old for an AWL, no fabric tag, no gob, no duck. And the interior pocket is not made of leather?

Name: no idea again? But it is a really nice wallet.

Both are authentic. I don't know the name of the wallet.

The bag is called a Pochette, from the Cavalry series. It's an older, pre-tag bag, probably from around 1984-85. It probably had a brass fob originally. None of the Cavalry bags had duck emblems. The interior pockets weren't made of leather. I don't know exactly what the material is, but it feels like vinyl fused to fabric.

Thank you! I left them both at the shop, even though I had an idea they were authentic. The wallet was only $2, but the bag was marked $40, and for as bad a shape as the strap was in, that seemed like too much. Plus, I don't know how well the AWL can be refurbished. But it was SUPER tempting...

I agree, $40 is too much for that bag in that condition. Looks like someone knotted the strap, a pet peeve of mine.
 
Please find photos attached. All looks in order except there's only a leather flap saying assembled in mexico no fabric D&B label next to that. The bag is small--6-1/2" x 8-1/2" x 2-1/2". Thanks!

It's an authentic Marble Bag from the "Over and Under" collection. I have an "Assembled in Mexico" hobo and the D&B label is on the opposite side of the bag at the top. It's possible yours didn't have one, or it was cut out.
