Blade of gunto, pattern 44

[Denver]

Hi all

I submitted photos to the blade gunto pattern 44 with two mekugi ana.

I was confused as made mei. Is this a real sword and correct mei?

Translate signature, please

Can someone have a picture with the same mei.

Thanks in advance

made by Yoshimune in March, 1945...It would appear from the photos to be a real WWII era sword, though whether or not it is a mass produced, non-traditional blade or a traditionally made blade, I can not say from the photos...

Den - real name, Ver - part of the surname..

 

Usually the signatures of one swordsmith on the different blades are practically identical, have the similar features of the writing, similar features signature...

In this case this is not so..

most likely a factory workers
