Papers from Nashe a forgery (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheaf
'papers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from nashe a forgery' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SHEAF' is hidden in the letters of 'nashe a forgery'.
(Other definitions for sheaf that I've seen before include "A bundle, of corn stalks or papers" , "Collection of papers" , "Bundle, as of reeds for thatching" , "Bundle of several things tied together" , "Bundle of cereal plants" .)
