The Moderators for this thread are Lee and Addy. Please do NOT PM them to request an authentication. Please post in this thread.

NOTE: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

READ THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING A REQUEST

This is a free service. Our authenticators are volunteers providing their opinions, and who desire to keep counterfeiters and dishonest sellers from profiting from their trade, and to help buyers find authentic items. Authenticators are not required to answer all posts and, for various reasons, some may not be answered.

It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell bags. It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication for designer items. If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.

1. Do a SEARCH and check if the item has been reviewed by one of the senior authenticators before posting a request. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).

2. You MUST use the format below when requesting for authentication for auctions or non-auctions:

Format to use for an auction item:

Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link: (please make sure link works after you post) Don't post mobile web link.

Format to use for items from sites of professional seller:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link: (please make sure link works after you post)
Photos: (attach using the paperclip at the top of the message box or upload to photobucket.com and post the links)

We will not authenticate for those who post photos only and cannot provide link to online auction/sale.

3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we.

At minimum, pics MUST include:
- all exterior
- interior
- LV heat stamp
- date code
- engraving on hardware (ie. zipper pull, lock, rivet, pushlock, screws, etc)

If the listing or your request does not have the required pics, it will NOT be reviewed. That means if you have not received a response, please check your original posting to ensure all information and pics are present.

Check out this thread! If you're using Photobucket, don't post mobile photobucket links, pics are too small, post links.

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.

4. Do NOT make more than 3 requests per post.

5. Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your request. Search by seller or item # to ensure that it has not been reviewed (see rule 1). If the auction is ending soon, you may say so in your comments. Remember, we are just like you, and get on tPF when we have time so please be patient.

6. To ensure that additional pics requested are seen by the authenticators, quote or provide a link to your original request and response. Use the quote feature or copy and paste the url. Failure to do do may result in your query not being answered. Please utilize the quote feature when responding directly to another post.

7. Comments on price and/or condition are NOT permitted. So please do not ask us for an opinion.

8. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

9. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.

10. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function ( button) to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

While I don't see any major red flags I would need to see required pics to confirm 100% - If you pay - pay safely through eBay & post required pics so I can confirm 100%. Sorry, that's the best I am willing to do. No room for error here as you can understand?
Thanks a lot for your opinion :flowers:, im so thankful, i´ll do it like this, when i recive it i´ll post the pictures for confirm 100% , have a nice evening

Louis Vuitton FLORIN WALLET N63074
- Received as a college graduation gift from my sister. Doesn't seem real to me and I don't want to embarrass her by asking. She did not provide me with a receipt. I have used it for 2 weeks now so ignore the scuffs on the ID window, thank you for the help.

I apologize for the dark photos, the sheen of the leather really distorts exposure. If more photos are needed, let me know. The date stamp says SP5102 if its unclear. She said she purchased it in france while she was on vacation.

The red flag for me was the pattern alignment. The front of the wallet has uneven corner squares, is this normal?

Hello. The authenticators require a sales or auction link for items. They do not authenticate private sale items or just off pictures. For a small fee you may use a professional authenticating service. Thank you....
 
Oh no! I did check the first post but I guess it wasn't enough. Really really sorry! I am asking brandoff for more pics!

Thank you so much again! ❤️Really !
Hi!
Me again :sad:
I asked for more pics but only received those. I believe those are still not enough :sad: and this Japanese seller still doesn't seem to get it after many back and forths.

I already paid (had to do immediate payment) but seller didn't ship yet.

Should I just get it shipped and then post clearer pictures myself?

Please let me know whether you would be able to help, thanks so much !!! Really sorry ;( I attached the pics either way here just in case this might help!

Original listing info:
Item name: Neverfull GM
Item no.: 401337573419
