Tosogu shinsa questions

[Drago]

Hi,

 

(I tried looking for "shinsa", but the search told me the term was too common...)

 

Lately I've been thinking about submitting a Nara fuchi-kashira I have for shinsa. Actually, the only tosogu set I have besides gunto parts, but I love it dearly.

Before I think about this in earnest, I'd like to get a general idea as to the process, so please allow me to ask a few questions or please point me to the appropriate thread:

 

1. What organization would you recommend?

2. What certificate levels do they have?

3. How long does it usually take?

4. How much does it usually cost?

5.1 Is there a reliable middle-man in Germany to organize this for me?

5.2 or if I do this on my own, is there a list of steps I should take?

 

Thank you very much.

Try Karl-Heinz Peuker (http://www.japanische-schwert-galerie.d ... /start.php), honest & reliable, and a very nice guy on top of that; he will answer all your questions, and can get your item to Shinsa.

Fully agree with Guido. Top line recommendation.

Thanks. I'll give him a call.
