American or Japanese Shinsa Service

[Francis Wick]

Good Sunday afternoon friends. I have two Katana , both polished and in shirasaya that need papers. I have neither the time or experience to get them papered by the NBTHK. I was hoping a member had contact with a trustworthy person who may be willing to do this for me. Obviously happy to pay for it. 
 

thank you 🙏🏽

Moses Becerra at Nihonto Antiques also has a submission service for Shinsa at the upcoming Orlando show in June

So I tried to comment about this once before, but my post mysteriously disappeared. I'll try again.

 

If you are not already familiar with this issue, you should read about the relative merits of papers from the NBTHK or from the travelling North American shinsa organizations. There may be archived material on this site, perhaps someone more savvy than me can direct you to some relevant previous discussions.
