Translation and help with origin for Shin Gunto mounted

[Solidstate]

I'm having a hard time identifying this sword. It does have a hot stamp of what looks like a turtle on the bottom of the Mei. I assume this is a bad sign that it may have been mass produced in the WW2 era. However, there is no serial number or numbered stamp on blade or Mei. Also, there "seems" to be a very clear Hamon running the length of the sword. Pictures could not clearly identify the activity. Let me know if i should try again with more pictures.

Thanks for looking! Appreciate the help...

without bending my neck to far to the right try this link and see if it matches.

In F/G the Seki cutlery company paper stamp tells us its most likely a war blade showa to

I would also go with Kanezane based on the hot stamp. Not my area at all but I have had a couple of his swords in the past and enjoyed both of them. There is a very moving letter of his published in Fuller and Gregory's book on 2nd world war swords. He made gendaito but also hand finished gunto.

Not the best perhaps but by no means a poor smith.
