Hi, Well after the death of Prince Philip I was wondering if the British Royal family had any Japanese swords presented to them ,As he was in Tokyo Bay for the surrender and possibly the only Royal there I was wondering if he was presented one there ?or any others that have been given over the years to them? Perhaps they have the Honjo Masamune. I always find this photo of the surrender fascinating Mark

Hi, Thanks for the info. Mark

Hi, thanks for the link how do you control humidity and dust etc I had a cabinet built for my other military collectables ,sealing the cabinet unfortunately does not work for some strange reason it still gets dusty and mildew tends to form,I solved it by pumping filterd dehumidified air from the room that in was in ,into the cabinet ie positive air pressure stops dust coming back into the cabinet as long as I change the filter paper[I use cooker hood filter paper] it minimise's the dust problem and no mildew or rust ,only problem it wasn't made for swords and they are rather difficult to get out and non of the glass is wide enough to see them think it's time to build another.
