Hi girls, I just received a vintage black tassel bag I purchased off eBay recently.. Authenticating it as we speak.. Has anyone seen an R (with a circle around it) in the top right corner? Also has Chanel ever used YMC zippers? Any info would be great! Sadly there is no serial number but the stitching and Chanel on one side and Made in Italy on the opposite side check out.. The chain is heavy and the stitching is good. Let me know :smile:

Someone may have already responded to you if you posted this in ATC, but this bag is fake.
 
I bought my chanel caviar 2.55 in 2003 and it has a square hallmark stamped on the closure. There is a round (?) webbed inside the square. I am not sure if I describe it right but the square hallmark is there and the booklet says the hardware can be regilded.

Interesting! Does anyone know about this stamp? Anyone know whether it’s 22k gold plated and which year the bag was made please?
