The black Tourbillon is authentic and from the recent ca. 2003 reissue since it has the tiny copyright on the cotonwood tree leaf (see big brown leaf picture, near top left corner) and the Hermes Paris is inked in blanc mat
thanks to everyone for all the information on this thread. i'm very much a novice when it comes to hermes scarves and could use some help on this one. when the scarf is a re-issue, do the old copyright symbols (or lack thereof) continue to be utilized on the re-issue, or are they updated? or is the only update the addition of a care label?
i love the Tourbillons that is on auction below, but there have been a few too many of them lurking around ebay lately and i question its authenticity. if anyone can offer an opinion, i'd appreciate it.
