Good Sunday afternoon friends. I have two Katana , both polished and in shirasaya that need papers. I have neither the time or experience to get them papered by the NBTHK. I was hoping a member had contact with a trustworthy person who may be willing to do this for me. Obviously happy to pay for it.
thank you 🙏🏽

One would definitely mention it when selling it for sure. It’s a good old blade otherwise but I need it seen by the NBTHK as it is signed by a potentially important smith so I guess I’ll take the chance on it being rejected
Hi and thanks
do the members have any thoughts on whether flaws in the nakago can constitute a fatal flaw ? I have a sword with a short crack in the mune of the nakago that does not cross from side to side near the hamachi ( only on one side ) of the nakago in a koto tachi. It is obviously a flaw but would it or any other crack constitute a fatal flaw in the nakago ?
thank you for any thoughts ?

Dyslexia is a hamper for me ,but I wonder sometimes if that applies to Kanji ? Have you heard the one about the paranoid dyslexic agnostic insomniac ? He lay awake all night struggling with the issue of whether there is really a Dog or not.
Hallo hope everyone is having a good weekend
Brain encouraged me to try translate mei and I think I have an idea this may be Fujiwara Kiyosada ? There is a lot more on the nakago of what looks to be a katana from the shows era. Thank you for any input 🙏🏽 the way ther side has a whole book written on it !
