This is an authentic pre 1945 Louis Vuitton Alger 70 suitcase measuring 28" x 19" x 8.5". This was my father's fave suitcase. He kept his stuff in great shape. Amazing how great it looks after so many years! I took it to the local Louis Vuitton store and they were fascinated by it. Lotsa smiles and ooh's and ahh's. They sent it to their top expert in NYC to authenticate it. It has the initials EMH.
