Thank you! I love trying to hunt down what these old ones are, I just wish the pictures from the threads that are 10 years old would still show up lol. I think you're right that Noir had signature hardware and I think there might have been a Noir with silver from a sample sale. I'm not sure if the sample sale bags from this timeframe were marked in any way, though.
I have a black stonewash MAB coming tomorrow (maybe I should do a reveal thread for that and a couple other things I've bought recently!) so I'll have to compare the leather, but I do think this one is too wrinkly/pebbly to be stonewash. I really do love these older RM's and it's so nice finding some that are still in such great shape!
