Thank You

I have one question. When I compare the fonts with a brief I know is real from 2005 (pic included) for China, I am not so sure this is authentic. Thoughts? Pic included. Thank you.

That one (2005) is authentic too.

The factory may have had 2 stamping machines or they may have changed the stamp between 2000 and 2005, accounting for the difference.

We tell people to compare apples to apples and that (usually) means same year and same plant. (It's not always possible to find the same item made in the same month.) 

Here's the same bag made 4 months after the one you're asking about. Note that the fonts are identical (except for the month code).

I agree. Thank you both again
