It is regular shiny gold hardware. Not brushed and not Permabrass. Only Hermes know for sure why it has a special order stamp, could be any number of reasons.

I thought I read on one of the SO forms that it was not allowed to order a standard bag through SO. Am I imagining this?

not anymore but you used to be able to

 

[Love that Bag etc]

Hey PurseForum! Would anyone here have any info on Trim II bags that have a different size grain on the sides than on the rest of the bag? Or is there an Hermes leather that maybe isn't so consistent in its grain size? Thank you, any help is welcome!!

Can I get some assistance with colour? I purchased the Marwari GM as etoupe and thought the PM was ebene, but the Massai was listed as ebene as well and is much darker. Since they're all clemence I would assume one ebene would be the same as the other or would they differ from year to year? TIA! First pic is outside, second indoors.

See if this works comparing the colors.

Ohhh thanks, I'm on it...

If the Marwari PM is ebene then the Massai might be cafe. Or the Marwari could be cacao and the Massai ebene? Time to scroll through every pic I can find of those colours .

Also, check Havanne

Marwari could be Havanne and Massai Ebene

Marwari could be Havanne and Massai Ebene

Havane is a little too red I think. Does anything here help with colour? Do we know what the R and the 6 (I think?) stand for?

Havane has a definite purple tinge (I had a Havanne bag that was sold to me as Raisin). If the bag doesn't have a red/purple thing happening, it's not likely to be Havane.
FWIW the Massai looks like the Ebene I'm used to seeing, but I'm not super familiar with other browns...for instance I didn't think Cafe was THAT much darker than Ebene.....

That would likely make the Marwari PM cacao (if it came in that colour). I'm surprised there's no colour codes, unless those two other numbers/letters on the zipper pull mean something. Thanks for your input!

Those letter, numbers are craftsman stamps.

Thanks, so of no real help for any identification that we'd be looking at. I'm afraid the Hermes bug has bit .

The letter in the square is the year code, so that can help you narrow it down by which browns were produced or not that year.
