We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
Except where the item is defective, we do not accept returns as a rule. In the case of an error on our part, please contact us by email within 3 days of the item's arrival.
