Vintage Chanel Earrings?

    This is a pair of earrings I purchased earlier this year with some other items and jewelry in a grab bag. They look like Chanel Logo earrings and on the earrings backs they are signed Chanel. I posted these awhile back on another forum but didn't find out if they were authentic Chanel earrings.

    I've searched for these same earrings on the internet but couldn't locate any with the same pattern design. I think they may be authentic mid-century Chanel earrings and they have the Chanel stamp in a raised oval on the back. I have seen a lot of variations of the Chanel stamp and have heard of other uncommon stamps that I may not have been able to find on the internet.

    The earrings seem to be good quality made with heavy plating and weight to them. The post are magnetic while the CC logo base metal and plating are not magnetic.

    Does anyone know if these are authentic Chanel earrings or have any other information on them?

    Thanks!
    Kevin

    The "H" in this backstamp is quite sloppy. I'd vote no on them being authentic, but I'm no expert.

    I agree with tie. Besides the "H" being sloppy, the name is not straight.
    Also the finish is poor - two pits showing in the finish

    The second one isn't polished smooth as one would expect for quality work.

    I think they're wanna-bes. Chanel was famous for costume jewelry, both making and wearing, but her pieces were high quality.

    Seems to be a huge Asian market that doesn't worry about trademark fraud.

    OK, big thanks to everyone for responding! I just took a big hammer and smashed them and threw them in the trash. I'm not a big fan of replicas or the like!
