This is a fake, most likely from China.  The notches at the start of the tang aren't aligned with each other and the shape of the tang is wrong (it doesn't taper).  The placement of the holes in the tang is off.  The signature, if that's what that is in your 1st pic, is totally wrong.  Bet if you showed a pic of the other end of the sword it would be just as wrong.

Don't buy a Japanese sword until you've done some study; otherwise you are ripe for the picking.  After you've seen many of the real thing, fakes like this will be easy to spot.

Hello!

 
I recently bought a Wakisashi from a auktion and have no
history or knowledge about this sword. I found some tang marks
and wonder where i can get help to translate them.
 
Thanks!
