I understand tricks for money of some antique dealers and sword makers, but blade is still very well made and it is in perfect polish. Someone must be doctor swordsmith for Koto blades, which than sell them for the price of only polishing... I could understand someone had time and high goal to made and probably sell this sword for big money with not only to look like Koto, but also put lot of efforts on details....so to look and be priced like higher level Koto blade?...in this case swordsman probably didn't earn much...

Hello, I add some more closeups. I only got old Torokusho copy of the sword (which I posted under translate help topic..) from antique seller..It has very nice skin and from my opinion also good polish. It is also very masive and heavy, it should be a monster before o-suriage....possibly Tachi (original lenght of bohi preserved in tachi mei side?) Bojan S.

Hello, I know that is an old paper Koshu Tokubetsu Kicho Ninteisho, but I never seen paper with handwritten serial number and oshigata of sword that has no oval second seal..? I was reading old post about faked Tokubetsu papers. Thank you Jean for replay, Bojan S. -
Hello, I would just like to ask if this NBTHK Tokubetsu paper looks "normal". It has hand written serial number in right corner and no second oval stamp in oshigata paper? As I know all serial numbers are stamped. Thank you very much for help, Bojan S.

Hello all, I got this beautiful Hanging scroll few day ago. Look's like some old Zen writing on paper. I will be very happy, if someone can help to read what the writting is about. Scroll has also two seals at the bottom and inscription on the back of the roll. P.S. Sorry, because post is not directly related to Nihoto, but should be with the spirit of it...? Thank you and all the best in New Year! Bojan S.
