Hello folks Perhaps someone is able and translate this ! Many thanks!

" In 1980 it was discoverd, that the Japanese Yakuza had been involved in the lower level papers at local branches, where many swords were rated much higher than they were. So by 1982 the NBTHK saw a rehaul and the local branches seized to give out papers Especially the green papers were affected!!! Actually green ppapers on a sword at this point, are wrose than having no papers. They are a virtual guarantee that the sword was made by anyone else, except for the guy named on the papers.....! THANK YOU DARCY BROCKBANK !

sorry what I meant, the so called blue paper was one level before Juyo status... what was that all about???? answer's to clarifi this, are very welcome! Thank's!

Jean without any doubt These "blue Paper " are NBTHK paper, very rare high ranking .

that's not nice, In "Buntland" Germany that cost's 19%

was there a specific reason for this?? overall very rare in my opinion, i've never seen like this before?
