Please Check My Work - Origami Translation

[ckaiserca]

I have made an attempt to translate the origami for my sunnobi tanto. I am slightly puzzled by the last kanji in the Nagasa column. I think I have the rest correct. Can someone please check my work?

Thanks!

 

* Kanteisho 

* Nagasa 1 Shaku 1 Sun 6 Bu ??

* Hitotsu (Item) Wakazashi - Mei - Kaneharu (shintô)

* "Examination by this organization has resulted in the decision that the item to the right is a sword that is worthy of preservation" (Hozon)

* Heisei 23 Nen (year) - 4 Gatsu (month) - 12 Hi (day). - April 12, 2011

弱 (jaku), that means “a little less/shorter than” in the context.

So then a bit less than 6 bu?

To be precise, that mens a little less than “1 Shaku 1 Sun 6 bu”.

So I have done my best to completely transcribe the kanji from my NBTHK origami. Using the kanji pages on this site, I think I have done all I can.

 

Would someone be willing to provide me with the kanji characters for the "boilerplate" of the origami? I have the rest, but I don't even know where to start for the other two sections? I would like to create a template for future swords of this ranking.

 

This is what I currently have done (hopefully it is correct).

Your reading for the paper is almost perfect.

To be precise,  the following reading is better in the context.
