Cool!! I don't know the authenticity - but that is a typical sword box. Nakamura sensei's swords [made to his specifications] were boxed up like that to be sold.

Perhaps the tag is original, but I do not like the writing on the box.

Thanks Guy. That much d as funds legit.
I was hoping to hear your thoughts on it. SMR employed many locals. Any chance the troubling issues could be due to that?

I don't understand "that much d as funds legit"
As you know, I'm neither a collector nor an historian, so I really have no thoughts on it. I think Nick is pointing to the infamous counterfeiter

I was just playing around. According to Nick, Kondo is from Chiba; so, I wrote the name like a swordsmith's mei: 千葉半島住近藤 [Chiba-hantō jū Kondo].
Dunno if he is from Chiba city or elsewhere on the Chiba peninsula [hantō - peninsula; literally "half-island" .... which is what peninsula literally means as well (well, actually "nearly-island")].
Kondo is too common a name to pen down to any particular area.
