You know there is an entire Hermes Dallet china service called Equateur right?
just sayin' BTW love the rust-brown jacket with this cw, brings out the big cats
I’m a relative newbie to H silks. I started with twillys (small and larger formats), then graduated to 90s with the purchase of Space Shopping and Grand Prix.

Oh yes, I'm aware of the Equateur china... Many a time have I had to stop my finger from clicking "pay now" on the website
Although having seen it in person, I find the colors of the china service a bit blah. The design is so much nicer on the scarf with the bright fuschia background 
The first scarf I purchased myself was Alice Shirley Tyger Tyger CGSM in colour way 16. black and white, then I picked up colour way 05 later on that season.
my first 90cm was the index Palmarum by katie scott in CW 1, with the cream background. I wish I picked up the black too!

Oh, my! If ever there was a “one & only” it could definitely be Pegase
My gateway scarf had to be La Promenade de Longchamps. It wasn’t my first, but I fell down the vintage H scarf rabbit hole in my search for a first edition la prom’

Chevaux de Karnac Silk Jersey scarf. Saw it on display at Schiphol Airport when we entered the H store in 2013. I instantly fell in love with it and brought it home with me. I thought it would be my only one, but I’ve slowly acquired a few more after. It was also my very first H purchase.
@doni, I believe I saw your scarf on eBay.
I don’t trust ebay, and can’t tell you if it’s real or not, and I’m also not sure what you mean by “on sale,”. As much as I don’t trust the site, I can’t help but look, and I did see the style.
I’ll tell my Hermes scarf love shortly but although I knew about them, I came to my Love late. Pucci was first love) Fortunately, most of the ones I collect are by Pierre Marie, a young designer, so I get them new from Hermes and feel comfortable they are authentic. Although I have a Tohu Bohu (who doesn’t?) that I paid full price for second hand, and I still wonder if its fake. Someday I should find an authenticator because I don’t like wearing it without knowing. In fact, I’ve never worn it.
Enough about me. Here’s the scarf I saw.

I hope it is real and what you wanted. I just want to help, so of course, authenticate it snd forgive me if it’s more that you want to pay.
As an aside. It’s a shame a seller charges so much for shipping. It shouldn’t be more than a couple dollars. Ah well, worth it if you get your dream.

Pierres d'orient et d'occident - Zoè Pauwels, purchased at Hermès in Milan, 1988
I took it to a dry cleaner here in SF about five years ago, and it came back with holes in three of the corners. Nothing to do in terms of repairing it (nor filing a claim) so I rolled up the corners and hemmed them and I still wear it with a leather jacket where those corners won't be seen. It hurts my heart, but I'll never throw it away, nor do I want to cut it down. It's my gold standard - when I see something that fills me with as much joy as this scarf, I know it's right for me.
That same dry cleaner used pins in another H scarf after I expressly told them not to. (Never going back there for any reason whatsoever! Still trying to find a good dry cleaner in SF...)
