Hi All,
Please help me to authenticate this Hermes belt.
TIA and special thanks to @a_river_runs_through_it for helping me uploading the pictures!

I think it looks like a Constance belt. But the blind stamp date code should be near the tip of the belt on the underside. Is there a missing photo?

Thank you so much for weighing in. I’ve seen newer Constance belts with similar blind stamps positioning on reputable resellers websites like Fashionphile. Unfortunately I’m not able to attach pictures from my devices tho.

Bababebi is THE real Hermes expert and she offers free advice on another site. (She also does professional authentications but before investing, you want to make sure it's genuine because her COA is pricey.)
Because of the high retail prices of Hermes, the fakers put a lot of effort into their replicas and some are very close. (I purchased a fake Hermes pouch and paid Bababebi $125 to learn it was fake. I wish I'd asked first for free on TPF before throwing good money after bad.)

Thank you for your suggestion. May I know which site does bababebi offer free advice on? I tried to post on tpf but it got deleted stating it's not an authentication thread... is there a specific thread on tpf that I'm missing?

I didn't realize they don't do belts there any longer. I just tried to see where the Hermes belt thread was but it appears that because they're so heavily counterfeited, they're no longer doing it on the site.
And IMO, if the fakes are that "good," you really want to make sure whoever you use knows their stuff or you're more apt to get a mistake.
Sorry I can't be more help.
