Late War Army Officer Sword

What do you guys think of my late War last draft Officer Sword? I also read in Dawsons book that it could have possibly been a emergency home defense sword as well. Does anyone have any late War parts? I’m looking for a plane black fuchi with or without button, iron oval tsuba and brass habaki.

These normally come with Mantetsu or Dalian Railway Factory blades. These outfits are pretty rare, and there is debate about about their time of issue. They are one of my favorite WW2 swords. 

Due to their rarity finding original parts would be like winning the lottery!

As IJASwords already hinted at, I think this could be a 1945 made Mantetsu.  Does the blade have any markings on the top of the tang by the habaki?
