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, Someone translated this as seki ju Kawamura Masanobu Saku but I can't find a SHO stamp.sorry for the bad photo. Mark Mark

Hi, I paid the charge at my local depot not at the coventry hub they sent it to them before I knew about the charge. 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.

Who is the maker of the Habaki

sorry my mistake still tought they were hair pins? they are very nice and appear and feel like silver, seller states 5th generation my question did the 5th generation change his name to ujifusa ?

Geese in my opinion. Mark

Hi, heres my latest multi piece construction ,who's the maker? Mark

Bruce to my untrained eye I would say the scene is a overlay looks like silver as for the sun is there any chance its gold? it is also signed with take a photo of it. Mark

Hi, Thanks ,reason I went for this one was it was love on first sight the overall sugata the uba Nakago and the kissake the rest was history so to say, supposably bt Kanefuse 5th gen ? did he not change his name the Ujifusa or am I incorrect. What does the paperwork say?will have a look at the Habiki the 2 small knife things appear to be real silver not plated.

It does come in shirasaya as well
