Navy blue chain shoulder bag from circa 1969. Exclusive special series with extremely rare use of genuine semi-precious stones in the hardware. The turn-lock clasp as well as the two sphere charms attached to the heavy chain strap are made of genuine, polished sodalite in deep inky blue, traversed by characteristic white calcite veins. Both sphere charms are undamaged & fully preserved. - No serial number: typical for the year 1969 at Gucci - Inside, the period curved vintage signature "Made in Italy by Gucci" in fine gold embossing - Solid & sturdy body. The heavy, gold link chain is held at the sides by solid guide rails Condition & minor flaws: The bag is in very good vintage condition with charming patina: - Exterior: The fine, dark blue box calf leather shows age-appropriate, purely superficial scratches and wear (especially on front and bottom), but has a wonderful deep shine. Corners and edges are sturdy and virtually not scuffed - Interior: The blue inner leather is clean, slightly worn here and there, inside the flap one or two discreet ballpoint pen marks. There is slight, purely cosmetic wear/separation at an inner seam and wear marks on the inner bottom (invisible from outside) - Hardware: The gold plating shines brightly with only minimal micro-scratches/rubbing. The closure mechanism works properly - Included is the original vintage Gucci dust bag with the historic Gucci family crest
