Though I see no red flags so far, I'd like to see a sharp and flash-free macro (up close) shot of the serial sticker to be certain.

oh thanks I reposted it following your guideline. so are you familiar with Chanel bags made in the late 70s early 80s before serial numbers ? your response is short and does not give any detail or guidance on that particular era . can you elaborate a bit more ?
So you must be familiar with bags made late 70s early 80s...there is not much research on the net about these bags, how o you know its fake? can you please give me more details because just ITS FAKE is quite a shallow response for an authenticator ...
