Roland Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Have a look, guys, at this ebay offer: http://cgi.ebay.com/NBTHK-FOR-UDA-KATANA-NO-TSUBA-OR-SWORD_W0QQitemZ160156525877QQihZ006QQcategoryZ73466QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Isn't that strange? Where do this papers come from? Which owner would voluntarily pass on the papers of his nihonto? Quote
Kajihei Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 One possible scenario: The paper is for a mumei blade, and some old NBTHK papers are unreliable. Owner submits it for shinsa and obtains a new NBTHK paper attributing it to someone else. No need to keep two contradicting papers, so he dumps the old one. And, as with anything else sword-related, there's a market for anything provided that the price is right. Kaj Quote
Stephen Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 to think about some dodgy buyers get them then state this blade has papers to get the sale. Quote
remzy Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Worried me too Stephen... we should buy them and burn them! ..hmm Quote
