Hello,

I have an opportunity to buy this sword and I need help in translate nbthk certificate. Seller told me that this is XVI blade, which was shorten from probably tachi or odachi. NBTHK identified this blade as a work of Shitahara Teruhide. Can someone confirm this informations from certificate?

Thanks.

When someone says XVI, reminds me of the old conman/scammer group Pawel Nowak.
Just make sure the seller is legit, and not someone trying to scam you by sending you pics of this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266497879757
I assume that's the one you are looking at?

This is exactly the same sword. Seller in Poland told me, that the sword is still in Japan. Price on ebay 3000$, he wanted to sell it to me for 6000$.

This seller on ebay is legit? Or do you have some legit websites where can I buy legit sword without any worries?

The individual in Poland is a scammer and ratbag, he should probably be named so others don't fall for such nickel and dime cons.

 

The original seller of the sword on ebay is legitimate and posts regularly on some of the facebook groups, here is the link to his sale:

Check with @Marius in Poland. Awesome guy, and he'll be able to tell you where to buy and if there is anything in Poland.

Uzu-Nihonto (raymo-ya) is a legitimate seller and works out of California. I have bought some tsuba from him. Some scammer probably hijacked his photos.
