All papillons I've dealt with, even the papillons with the dyed, french co-type leather have date codes. They're VERY hard to find, and be careful, because I've heard horror stories where women RIP their bags trying to find it. The date code is located on the seam (a photo was posted earlier) behind the zipper, inside the bag. You may need a flashlight - it's very hard to find.

Yep! The first and third number is the month it was made, the second and fourth is the year it was made, and the 2 letters signify the factory where it was made. So your bag: SD0034 - SD can mean a factory in france or the factory in the USA - in your case it's the factory in the USA, San Dimas. 0034 - take the first and third number = 03 - so it was made in the third month of the year = March. Now take the second and fourth numbers, 04, which equals the year it was made = 2004. :smile1:
