And if possible could you please measure the handbag for me as well.
Thank you.

The bag is approximately 10x7. I tried to take readable images of the two dots embossed on the inside leather, let me know if you can see the stamp. I also have a second skin bag that I'd like you to look at and a vintage Gucci that is gorgeous, do I pay again or add to this thread?

Thank you for the additional photos. It is a lovely Hermes handbag made of crocodile with a beautiful golden braided strap. The very exclusive and internationally know designers are quite sought after both from new and vintage models. However as they are very rare and expensive when in good condition there are also made many fake handbags from Hermes, Chanel and other highend brands.
I do believe that your handbag is authentic however it is hard to see from the photos and also because it is a vintage model it is hard to compare with other similar Hermes bags as this model appears to be quite rare.

The appraisal is given assuming the handbag is original. One way of determining this is if the original dustbag and box had been kept but unfortunately they seldom are with the vintage bags.

As for the other handbags - I am afraid we only estimate one item pr entry which means you have to pay again for each other item you wish to have appraised.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kind regards
