The forum in its entirety is for all to enjoy, comment, and share their love of bags. This thread, however, is strictly an authentication thread. The recent misinformation and extra chatter is diminishing the integrity of this thread.
Moderators have been notified, and will hopefully check in here soon. (Comparing one vintage item to another sitting in your closet is not an informed authentication. Neither is taking a photo at a boutique of an MM Marais to "authenticate" another member's BB Marais.) The regular (and moderator-approved) authenticators are frustrated. So, at this time, I highly recommend to ALL members requesting authentication services to wait for and only heed determinations from our esteemed moderators, Lee and Addy.
