Newbie asks How do you get a sword papered??

[chitownloft]

Have found this forum quite helpful! I am new to the study of Nihonto and have been overwhelmed by the amount there is to learn and even more overwhelmed by the amount of questions I have! NBTHK papers seem to be the most desirable for resale and confirming value (at least in my limited/ignorant research) how does one go about getting a blade papered by the NBTHK?? (I’m not afraid of lengthy answers if you are gracious enough to write them)

 

Thanks so much.

Hi, If you check the links section above you will find some gentlemen that will broker your swords fees, paperwork, etc. to Japan and back. ei. B Benson and M Beccera, others I am not omitting on purpose. John

if you are in the chicago area, there's a chicago shinsa sword show coming up end of April in Arlington Height.
