The second one is definitely authentic, but I'm not positive on the first one. I'd need a close up of the label and the snap. I do not recognize it offhand.

I have a pink nylon Maria, which is like what's shown. I'm gonna compare my wallet to this one when I get home. I'll post pictures of mine, which is authentic, to see how it matches up.

OK...we're cookin'! I've had to insert the links to my photos because they are high-def.

First, the closed wallet:
http://flic.kr/p/afqsWa

Looks identical!

Second, the open wallet:
http://flic.kr/p/afqsPi

Looks identical! Some things to compare...

Notice that the lower half of the wallet (where the license would go), the construction and number of slots are identical. Next look at the top of that section of the wallet...you can see where this section where you put the credit cards looks like it flaps over...mine does too and yes, that section does exist as a flap over a section you can stick your checkbook. Look up at the section under the wallet flap (under where the flap where the label is). That section is the coin compartment; you can see that better here in my photo:

http://flic.kr/p/aftgh9

That section where the coin compartment also is where you store the $1000 bills you usually carry around :graucho:. And there are two places for those $1000 bills. I also shot a photo of the back of the wallet:

http://flic.kr/p/aftg8h

There's another full-length slot for more $1000 bills.

So...given that the construction of my wallet is identical to this one, I'd consider this to be authentic. I bought mine a couple years ago when I also bought a matching Pia and a matching Sam with tab (I'm a matchy-matchy girl!). I think this seller's $87 price is really good. These things wear like iron. You can see that on mine...it's still in "like new" condition, but I'm kinda careful with my stuff.

Other opinions on the authenticity?? I'm not a real authenticator as I still have on my "training wheels"!!
