translation of NBTHK paper

[adventurer_900]

Hi All, I am looking for some please. I have a NBTHK paper and tsuba box with an inscription. I believe that I understand most of what the paper says but I am a stickler for wanting things to be precise and accurate. I believe it says something like: 1, Estimation paper. 2-5 Shoki design, Mumei, Kyo Shoami. 6-7, Certificated Tsuba to Hozon Tosogu. 8, February 28^th 2000. 9, NBTHK  seal. I am thinking that I have the actual wording wrong and have missed something, especially in lines 2-5. The box I believe it may just say “Shoki tsuba (Kyo Shoami)” but again I think that I have missed something. This is just for personal use, as I have no intentions of selling the tsuba. I just would like a precise translation which hopefully will help me in my understanding of Japanese. Your assistance would be much appreciated.

SteveM I appreciate you adding the text 鬼鍾馗図透鐔 . It helps me with my paperwork. I don't that I can impose a little bit more. Are you able to provide the text for the other bits that you translated for me.  Many thanks.
