Also, I would need to see face forward, clear and up close shots (no flash, no glare) of:
- the full serial nr.
- CHANEL MADE IN stamp
- both sides of the zipper pull.
Counterfeit.
I also wanted to say that this does not automatically mean that the bag came from VC. Seller could have just mentioned VC and pictured the tag to deceit people. It would be very sad if VC would have let such a dreadful fake slip through.
Though not as magnified as I want it to be, that picture do looks much clearer in full size.
From all the pictures provided I'm not seeing any red flags with this boy.
Please do note, though, that higher series boys and classics have become increasingly hard to authenticate just by pictures alone. Main reason is that most of the time requestors fail to supply the needed quality shots for authentication and counterfeiters have flooded the market with scary good super fakes.
It's therefore recommended to have higher series boys and classics sent in for physical authentication. This way of inspection allows authenticators so see little details that aren't always (well) shown with pictures only.
Recommended services for physical authentication:
Entinceler in the US https://etincelerauthentications.com

You can also use Authenticate4U.com, I believe they still do picture authentication for all series.
I need a magnified and sharper picture of the serial (no flash).
Pictures of the CHANEL engraving on both sides of the bag need to be straight on, up close and glare-free.
