Hi Austin, what's the correct title of your work?
May be there is a line from the late shin shinto schools to the early gendaito smiths. Some members, fit in nihonto history and our gendai specialists ( Markus, Swordguy Joe and others ) could help; it's your form...

Thanks Guido, got that table of contents with the book. May be Markus will translate, don't know how many books are outside Japan,

Best Regards
Curran, don't find the fittings sale. May be Rockefeller collection?

On the other hand, a longtime collector told me, there is no need for higher papers when the NBTHK gives a Hozon and you saw the quality of the blade.
