Missing pictures of the following:
- straight on and clear shot of the CHANEL MADE IN stamp
- macro (up close and clear) shot of the serial nr.
- back plate showing the 2 screws
- both sides of he zipper pull

Since the bag is in your possession, could you also please add a login shot?

Ok, let me know if I'm missing anything. I think this is my first authentication thread in my nearly 10 years on tPF so I have no idea what you need. My husband purchased this bag from Christina at NM in Michigan after I saw it on the stock thread. We've never ordered something sight-unseen (or without being in the store at the time). It makes me nervous. SA's could just charge for real items, send a fake, and keep the real one. Not that anyone would do that, but you know... I'm worried. I'm sure this SA is lovely and would never do that but I'm always paranoid. The bag is gorgeous and smells real but feels a bit stiff and the caviar is small. Also, the plastic on the front hardware is clear and lately people have been posting photos of blue-ish plastic on the mini hardware. Thanks!!

I'm not seeing anything of concern, but since this is one of the newest series boy, you can choose to send it in for personal authentication (after the purchase) for an extra layer of security :)
For future reference, when you post new pictures, or info, please remember to quote your initial request so we have all pertinent info pertaining to your item contained in one post.

Pictures are blurry (should be crisp and clear), but I'm not seeing any red flags with what is shown. Details are correct for the 17C pink rectangular mini with lghw. Also, if you bought this from NM, I really don't think you have anything to worry about.
I've seen this bag in person and the caviar pebbles are exactly the same as yours. And the hardware on bags comes covered with either clear, or blue plastic. I've seen both :)

Wow, I've never seen this tri-color flap before. Pictures are insufficient, though. Please see post # 2 of this thread for guidance.

Thank you! I've been freaking out all day. Was thinking of driving to a NM tomorrow but it's a few hours away. I've done a lot of research today and it looks ok, but the thread about "super fakes" scared me. I don't know how to get clearer pics. It's so hard to hold my phone inside the bag to take photos. The bag is also a bit stiff so I don't want to manhandle it trying to get a clear shot. Literally every mini seems to have this blue plastic now but mine was clear. Otherwise, everything looks ok. I just don't want to end up a scam victim in the end.
