Tokubetsu Kichi Nitei-Sho Certificate

[kissakai]

Hi

I bought this tsuba from a NMB member a few weeks ago and I’d like some help with the papers. I’ve blanked out the submitters name as this was normal when on open view

 

This is the information I’ve translated so far

 

Tokubetsu Kichi Nitei-sho certificate

 

Tokubetsu Kichi Nitei-sho in use between 1950 and 1982 and in 1973. A new blue paper was introduced and was a higher level than the previous green paper

 

Tokubetsu Kichi = Especially precious (top rank) - Green paper 1950 to 1972.

In 1973 a new blue paper was introduced and was a higher level than the previous green paper

 

Details from the papers

Nara school – This is the only mei on the tsuba

Cert dated October 25th 1975

 

A higher grade blue paper was introduced in 1973 as this green paper is after 1973 it would be classed a basic tsuba

 

I would appreciate any help with the ret of the translation or correcting any mistakes I’ve made

 

 

 

With thanks

_{Hi Many thanks for your help which again has exceeded my expectations
I thought I'd cracked the dates but I will check my notes to see where I went wrong
As this cert  is pre 1973 I would class this tsuba as Tokubetsu Kichi = Especially precious - a bonus}

 

_{Just to show my ignorance again can I ask for this to be translated?

I've tried a couple of translator and it appears something along the lines of:

The correct definition is that this is especially precious and is proven (certified proof)

[Bugyotsuji]

Migi wa to kyoukai ni oite: (This) on the right is what this (our) organization

Shinsa no kekka: (concludes from) (as a result of) examination;

Tokubetsu kicho kodogu toshite: to be an especially valuable small accessory

Nintei suru: we certify (the above)

Wonderful Piers

Thanks for completing my understanding of these papers

Again I'd like to thank the previous contributors for there valuable help

 

I try to spread out my requests so not appearing to abuse the help of the NMB

But just like buses you don't see one for ages then two come at the same time (a British saying) 

I have another paper I want to submit later today which is significant to me although I only need one part translating

 

 

Thanks
