The seller is listing this bag as Caviar but to my novice eyes it looks like lambskin. Any help please? Thanks!

That's definitely lambskin and not caviar. I've seen a few bags mistakenly described as caviar -could be they were re-using a template for a different bag or just seller error.
 
Awesome thank you guys so much for your help! I know th price difference is quite a lot for Lambskin vs Caviar. What’s a decent price for lambskin like this one? Is $3k- 3.5k reasonable with full set?
 
Definitely lambskin. Caviar will be visibly pebbled, and I'm surprised the seller is labelling it as caviar since it looks nothing like it.

$3K-3.5K is pretty reasonable for that condition in the current market. It's a bit high compared to what we were seeing it at a few months ago, likely due to the recent price increases, but such is the current market. I'm even seeing vintage flaps like that be listed at around $4K now, which is a bit crazy to me.
 
It's lambskin. Is this a Japanese reseller? I noticed that sometimes they copy/paste their listings since they have sooo many of the same bags (Chanel must be huge in Japan) and they might forget to alter a few details.
