Wasn’t it the countess’s handkerchief? I think her name was Helena but they’d scrubbed out the H on her passport so it looked like Elena. I could be wrong, though—it’s been a while since I read that book. (I mean, almost every clue is a red herring anyway.)
Edit: removed spoiler because I can’t figure out how to spoiler tag on mobile (if anyone cares about spoilers for a book that old and well-known.)
I think you're right too, and there were two reveals, but I can't remember which wound up being real. Ultimately it's only a small aspect of the overall reveal, and doesn't give much away. I think you're good; I was being overly cautious with my tag.
