Some more pictures, the circled part is what I'm confused about

Hello, need help with this Mei I think it's Showa 3. I've had it in my collection for some years and need some help determining what the Mei is. Thanks

I've got one NTHK papered, however, it's Tenpo period if interested. Comes with its original Koshirae as well ~72cm nagasa (will double check) I can send more pictures if interested

23, started about a year ago after collecting Indopersian arms for about a year

I have a Shinto Wakizashi in fresh polish that I’m willing to let go for $700 plus post. I have a copy of its torushko and I originally bought it from someone located in Australia as well. You can pm me if interested

Thank you, is it perhaps maybe Gassan Sadaharu and not Sadakiyo? I’m not finding any Sadakiyo and the listing seemed to say Sadaharu

Found a listing with this certificate but doesn’t look like NBTHK Hozon or the NTHK NPO paper I’m used to seeing. Could I get some guidance and a translation?

Happen to have a link? That's nice to hear

Terrible news but it appears ParcelForce is also prohibiting blades starting May 7th https://www.parcelfo...ons-and-restrictions

Hello NMB, This Kozuka came with the Koshirae for my Norimitsu Wakizashi. I imagine it probably reads Bizen Osafune Norimitsu but just wanted to double check. Thank you

Ah, If Seppa could talk…

Hello NMB, I’m having some trouble making out the Kanji on this pair of Seppa. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thank you, do you know if it says which generation or whether the paper was from the main branch?

Hi all, I was hoping to get some help on translating the paper and the handwriting on the envelope, Many thanks
