Authentic Gucci leather black belt with silver hardware. The hardware is tarnished has scratches in the show discoloration is the Gucci G with the logo embossed on it looking across the front the leather does seem kind of dry does show some wearing and hairline cracks when you were looking closely, I tried to picture where it looks like the belt does dip a little in the middle, when connecting the belt that is in the very back of the belt and has been pulled like that from belt loops by the three holes there is some wear and tear as this belt has been used. Item comes from a smoke free home. The last belt hole lined up with the piece that inserts is approximately 25.5 inches and the shortest measures approximately 23.5 inches
