I got the info from the Reference library. Looks like the last bag pictured

If you read the first line it says prototypes AND first season. The bag shown on the bottom is a first season as evidenced by the lack of zipper stop.
The one you listed has a zipper stop so is either second or third season. Hard to tell from the pics shown but the leather looks like it could be second season.
 

I love this color, but I can't get over the 'green' residue around one of the rivets...combined with the listing saying there is a musty odor, I am imagining the worst. The pictures showing the inside of the bag look pristine 🤨

I took a little break & came back to look. The prices are Insane, but…since there pricing them this high & people are buying them - I went ahead and consigned a few of my least often used ones 🤷🏽‍♀️ I hope more of the non-tpf-ers go ahead and buy mine (so I can wait for the prices to come back to reality & buy a few more lol)

Looks like verdigris. Happens sometimes with brass. It was probably kept in a moist environment. The verdigris wouldn't necessarily scare me away as it can be cleaned, but musty odor implies mold, which I don't want to deal with.

Such a shame because it’s a beautiful color, I definitely don’t want to deal with mold. I had no idea what that green residue was, thank you!
