Thanks! So far no one I’ve spoken to about it has ever seen one. Flat brass as I’m sure you know was only used in the early bags of 2001-02 so to find it on a 2005 bag is quite remarkable.This is so stunning and so rare! I love teal coloured Balsand i need to get one myself!

First time I see FB MU! I ignored it existed
So far it’s the only one any of us has seen. @RealDealCollection paging Corey, have you ever come across a M/U clutch with flat brass HW?First time I see FB MU! I ignored it existed![]()
Wow, I’m really curious, could be a rarity. And you know babe, I am wherever a rare one is!So far it’s the only one any of us has seen. @RealDealCollection paging Corey, have you ever come across a M/U clutch with flat brass HW?

Yes, it could be a transitional one (drooling)I’ve been searching old TPF threads but so far no reference at all to a FB M/U...from what I can find the first M/Us were in 03, so it could have conceivably been a transition piece but the colour looks like 05 teal.
Not if it’s an 05 teal though. If it was an 03 I’d say yes but not an 05.Yes, it could be a transitional one (drooling)
I don't recall ever seeing one, so a very special piece in my books. Did it come from the US or Europe, or were you able to check with the seller as to where or when they acquired it (I have done this several timesI’ve been searching old TPF threads but so far no reference at all to a FB M/U...from what I can find the first M/Us were in 03, so it could have conceivably been a transition piece but the colour looks like 05 teal.
Thanks, it was on TRR so the chances of getting any info is pretty much nonexistent. I'm exhausted just thinking about dealing with their CSI don't recall ever seeing one, so a very special piece in my books.

could it be just altered if the original stud fell out/lost? and flat hw was used from another bag (beaten-up) and all studs replaced? how does it look from inside?So, further to the flat brass M/U for those who are interested. Had a chat with Corey at RDC and she's never seen one either. She agrees with it being 05 teal, and thinks that it was either a special order or someone grabbed the flat brass instead of the regular brass HW in 04 when they were producing the 05 bags.
