Yes it was, it was where ykk usually is on the side. There was also a small w at the base of the zipper (I'm assuming for the company who makes the zipper) and the number 5 imprinted at the front of the zipper. I asked the seller I purchased it from and they told me they got it from the sample sale. Not sure if maybe this explains the different zippers?

I have two AW bags that are salesman's samples and they're ykk. I think it has more to do with the year of production. We've had a couple of Raccagni confirmations for 2014 so IMO your bag is fine. You've had a couple of people with more experience than I say they have Raccagni zippers so I wouldn't worry. I just find the small details really interesting!
It is really interesting! And it made me a bit crazy trying to find out haha, I googled so many stock photos and tried zooming in, since it was my first aw bag. I didn't know what I was going to do if it was a fake since the authentication services I contacted never emailed me back. I probably won't buy again off eBay, thank you for your help
Plus, pebbled leather rocco and rockie have always had a different zipper than the smooth leather.
Yes, I am talking style of zippers.
AW "Pebble" leather have this style (some of mine are YKK, the first generation have no engraving):
Smooth have this style:
under side of the above zipper-

I see now, thanks for the clarification!
Could someone authenticate this bag? I know the pictures look bad and the bag beaten up, but for the price (if authentic) its really worth it!

Need a clear photo of the engraved clip on the strap and made in China tag found inside lining.
Hi, me again! Just wanted to double check this prisma flat clutch before I accepted it on poshmark. Everything looks good to me although I wasn't able to find a mic tag (not sure if the flat clutches have it?), so another opinion would be great.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Please wait for an expert authentication as I have no knowledge of the clutch but if legit your last pic with the SMS tag means it's a saleman's sample.I have two different SMS bags and they're beautiful. Sometimes the MIC tags are cut out because they may say that the bags are not for resale.

I've seen Saks bags with sms embossed and I own a few clutches that do not have MIC tag. In my experience, the samples have a sample tag sewn into the lining, larger than a MIC tag.
