Its photos show a certificate that isn’t in our records yet. Papers can come from different bodies (the NBTHK, the NTHK and smaller societies), and only current NBTHK or NTHK shinsa papers are the independent check we rely on. Please ask the dealer which body issued them. — Hoshi

We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
Please contact us promptly after the item's arrival. Except where the item is defective, we cannot accept returns. For returns due to customer circumstances, the cost is the customer's responsibility. In the case of a defective item, we bear the cost.
