Help with identifing Japanese WWll sword

Submitted by lisamarie on Thu, 2012-04-19 18:04

I am desperatly seeking help. I have been researching this sword for few months now with no luck. I have had some responses from other people but of course they are each different. So I am more confused now than when I first started. I even tried to learn some Japanese to try and figure out the signiture...and there are only 2...LOL.

Anyway, I am here hoping that someone out there can help me with this sword wether it is fake or real, and if real than what is it?
