It's genuine, from 1997, but I don't have any information on it. The top bar is called a dowel.
Maybe by the time you're ready and IF you're ever ready to sell, we may have a name. I do know that the font used in the serial number is exactly the same as another unknown
Coach I happen to own that also has a dowel top and was made in the same plant, month and year so there are still a few styles we've never seen advertised or described, they just sometimes turn up for sale. We can almost always tell if they're genuine by small details like the creed and serial number stampings.
