  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request, some may not be answered for various reaons, and it is their right to ignore a request.
  • Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.

Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
absolutely agree with surfchick. To be 100% confident, I would like to have it in hands. This and the 2005 re-issue of Cirque Molier exist as pretty good fakes, just the silk would be off. So, how does it feel, what is the weight and the size?

It's 65 grams, 34.5x35. I only have one other Hermes (that's also unverified) so I don't know how it's supposed to feel, but I do think they're both stiffer compared to the cheaper scarves I have (say Banana Republic), and they make slight rustling sounds when the fabric scrapes together.
 
Still shopping for a perfect scarf (or more than one). I got a Wlodek Kaminski's "Selle d'Apparat Marocaine" thanks to your authentication help and I love it! Now I am hooked and I want "Mon Petit Cheval Mexicain". I would love the red background but at this price I will take blue. But is it authentic?

Here is the link and I got some extra pictures from the seller but they are very small when saved to my computer so they are not "postable". All the hallmarks look good though when compared to reference material: it's twill and hand rolled to front, scarf name, Hermes-Paris, Hermes copyright and artist initials look legit and are in right places with all accents and dots correct. Care tag is attached and is a short black tag in English attached in 3 points. I know this may not give you detailed look at the scarf but maybe this CW/design was not faked before?

Comment: Zero feedback seller main thing. I also did not find this CW in reference material online.

Thank you again for your continuing help. I'd be blind without you.

this scarf has been faked in almost every colorway and with the pictures of the listing, it is impossible to say something. sorry

Sounds good and I would lean towards authentic, but not a 100% full-hearted thumbs up.

Thank you DDC!

Are there any particular areas on the scarf you would like to see a close up of to be able to make the authentication? I will ask the seller to post some in-focus pictures in the listing itself of the standard authentication features but I was wondering if there is anything in particular in the design that might be helpful as well...

Thank you much.

just the standard and I am wondering whether you have realized that the seller has zero feedback ...

Yes, I did and that's why I am extra careful. I will see if they can post some close ups in the listing and will repost the link if they do. They seem to have the scarf in their possession, are wiling to do close-ups of requested parts and are taking returns, so I am at least willing to investigate. You never know, might be authentic.
