Authentic. I have taken pictures of every side of the bag. major flaws are peeling insides as it's the original lining from many years ago. One side of the lower handle has lost stiffness, there are watermarks on the corners and tan part, there is some fading and scratches on hardware from use. there is some blue color stain at the lower back probably transferred from denim. There is a number SP0077. purchased in Europe many years ago. NO rips or tears. leather is still intact. not beat up or weak. it's in great shape for it's age IMO. lining can be changed. good size. quite large. carries a lot
