I don't see anything to firmly indicate Muromachi period at all, especially on the Nakago. More research is always good, you'll start to see what we notice. Koto wakizashi tend to have a finer, smaller shape and larger sori with short Nakago. The patination can be darker too and the Hada will be looser and more prominent after multiple polishes. 

 

Look up Koto era Wakizashi online and compare yours, you will see what we mean.
