Hello,
I am very new to collecting Tsuba, and I would like to familiarize myself a bit with this piece that I saw for sale. It has NBTHK paperwork with it, which is, I'm assuming some kind of prestigious certificate of authenticity? The Tsuba is signed as well, so I'm assuming the certificate also states who forged the piece as well. I assumed all eBay sellers sold fake Tsubas, and that this seller was trying to pull a fast one, but this one with the official looking paperwork caught my eye and so I would like some opinions on it. Thanks!
