Rabbi Nachman Papirna (died in 1972) was a known as an expert scribe who wrote elegant Parshiyot Tefilin with great piety. It is known that the Rebbe Rabbi Ya'akov Yosef of Skvyra used to take Parshiyot Tefilin only from Rabbi Papirna. He also recommended to take only Parshiyot written by Rabbi Paprina since they were so elegant and were written strictly according to the laws.
The Parshiyot before us were examined and found to be written by Rabbi Nachman Papirna in nice, elegant script, from when he was a young man and his writing most elegant.

Lishkat Mehadrin of Badatz Ha'Edah Ha'Charedit wrote of the Parshiyot before us: "I have examined them carefully and they were written by Rabbi Nachman Paprina, from his best times, they are in excellent condition and look as if they were written today, and are Kosher and most elegant…"
The Parshiyot have been proofread manually and by a computer.
Attached is material and confirmations.
