<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 287042, member: 121&quot;]Off the top of my head I can&#039;t say when the Epi leather was introduced by Vuitton, but I THINK it is no older than the 1970s. If that piece were mine I would be raising Cain over the poor metal fittings - not at all up to Vuitton standards.................but that is not definitive because at some point in their history they licensed companies in the USA and Spain to manufacture for them, so the quality of the brass may not have been the same as that used in France.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have you checked deep in to the interior folds for a tag/tab with impressed numbers (sometimes called a serial number, but actually a date code). It may also note the country of manufacture. Somewhere on the web is a table for translating date codes, etc., but since I no longer handle luxury handbags for a living I have deleted the link from my bookmarks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
