Legit B&R Bag?
So you know that old saying about too good to be true?
Does this appear to you guys to be a legitimate B&R product? The description certainly sounds just fine, but the product images don't match any images that I can find on B&R's site or any shop I've dealt with before:

In fact that zip shape (smiley face) is not one B&R appear to use. All of their bags have the opposite direction. Could this be a high end fake?

I think it's end of line - looks like last year's model. Still a good bag for checking in and will come with the same warrenty.

B&R does have a 25% off sale on some Transcend items on their website.

The interior pic doesn't look like the 27" Transcend, but the outside definitely looks like the same line. The price works out too, it's going for $18 USD less on ebags.com than the ad the OP posted.
