Photos insufficient. Please read posts 1 and 2 and identify which photos you may be missing; my signature also outlines bare minimum photos needed for a response. Of course, there is no need to repost photos that are already included in the listing. If your request did not have an active online link, then you will need a login shot to prove you are the photographer. Please see my signature link for an example or more info.
If you repost with additional pictures, please also quote or copy and paste your original request and provided pictures so that I know which bag the additional pics belong to. Thanks.
The format you used in your request is missing some critical details. Please read Post 1 referenced in the very title of this thread and follow the required format in order to receive a response.
I usually don't authenticate 17 million+ series classic boys, classic flaps, GSTs, WOCs and reissues unless it's from a reputable seller that I know and trust, due to the proliferation of superfakes, or unless it's a bag that to me is clearly counterfeit. Unfortunately most paid services do not do these either unless you mail them the bag.
Of course, if I am still able to tell you if it's a "definite fake" or "definite superfake" I will still comment, so you are not discouraged from posting these bag requests, but please make note of the above.
HI, Can someone authenticate this boy bag. thanks in advance.

Hello
I am very new to this forum. First, I'd like to thank you for giving me any sort of help in figuring out buying online. I recently had twins and haven't been to the chanel store in a long time
So, I thought I should give online vintage shopping a chance 
I have a maxi classic flap, a WOC and a wallet all made of black caviar.
I just bought this cute white medium chanel bag from Ebay. I am not sure if I am ripped off. I have been wanting a white handbag with silver gear for a while but no matter how much research I did I cannot locate this bag anywhere...
it also is patent leather and has a lot of stains on it from being rubbed on clothing.
I feel super guilty for blindly purchasing a fake and an unrepairable mess of a bag... which I am not even sure is real.
It is MADE IN ITALY
Serial number: 11176755 ( Which according to online research indicates 2006-2008 ?)
White/off white patent leather
All silver hardware. All matching across the bag.
behind the cc logo is made in france (see picture) however, the bag was made in Italy
I haven't seen a flap bag like this before as it opens up to a zippered compartment with another zipper section inside of it and another flap across it.
The bag has a front pouch that is not covered with the zipper once you open the flap
there is also a compartment behind the zippered section essentially dividing the bag in three different sections covered by one flap.
on the back is the pouch all classic chancel flap handbags seem to have. I am not sure if I am qualified enough to make sure the stiches are completely lined up
however, I can say there are more than 7 stitches per diamond/square....
Here are some pictures. I would appreciate it so much if you could let me know the authenticity of this bag and also if the stains are even salvageable or I need to return it to sender and never attempt purchases before making sure...
Thank you very much for all your help ahead of time... and if it authentic, should I keep it?

Unfortunately, once color is transferred onto patent leather, the damage is very likely to be permanent. Apart from ink marks that can be carefully removed with nail polish remover, there's not much you can do as most stains penetrate deep through the plastic layer. Light colored patent leather bags always require extra care as they can absorb colors from whatever it is that they come in contact with. Neither you, nor a professional can get rid of the color transfer. The damages I see on your bag I doubt can be rectified.
It is a beautiful bag, I had it and loved it, but has since learned that white patent is not for me.
I see that you are a new member
