NBTHK papers ??

[Dan tsuba]

Hello all !!

I am a collector of "low end" and not expensive tsuba.  It is a great hobby and it is a vast learning expierence.  I have been collecting for about 4 years now.  Today I received a tsuba with the first ever set of NBTHK papers that I have !!  Hoorah !!

I would appreciate some assistance.  Are these papers the "real deal" or are they fake ?  I got on an internet website and as far as I can tell the papers look authentic.  The site also tells me what is mentioned in each column of the paper.  Although trying to figure out what it states is too challenging for this old guy !!  I have included pictures below of the papers and the envelope it came in.  Can you assist with translation ??   Thank you very much,

With respect,

Dan

Yes that is an NBTHK authentication paper from 1979. It says the tsuba is an unsigned "Shingen" tsuba.

This site has an ocean of information and opinions regarding the green authentication papers. You may want to search around for more detailed information regarding these.
