I am in the process of clearing out my late step-grandmother's house and came across this Hermes scarf (Astres et Soleils Hermes silk scarf Designed by Annie Faivre in 1994). Based on my Googling, it has all the signs of being an authentic scarf but I would love a second opinion!
Thank you in advance :)
The signs I have checked are:
Hand stitched/rolled edges
Name of scarf and Hermes written on the scarf itself
Weave/feel of the fabric and it is not shiny
It is a genuine Hermes design/pattern
The care label

Yeah, I'm not an expert, so I checked most of those features you've cited, starting with the rolled, hand-stitched hem, and ending with the "HERMES PARIS" inscription (the latter took me a while to find, because there is so much detail in the design).
Here is another in a different color scheme:

Here is one in the same color scheme with a bit more background on the design:
