I was also wondering about the signature on the tsuba if that might be a clue as to what this may be.

Thank you both very much for your information. I’ll post clearer pictures tomorrow when I can get access to the sword.

To me it looks like someone just “customized” the tsuba post war by cutting it down.
Just my guess.

Thanks Thomas for posting the regulations diagrams. The sonin level swords show a different scabbard fitting pattern i.e. Not a boars eye cutout. The sword pictured also has the correct sonin level colonial knot although it's damaged. In my humble opinion I believe the scabbard is correct.

I believe this was one of those special order items for winter/artic excursions!😉

I missed out on this one due to the time difference. I also would have bought it immediately!

Sorry, it took me a while to get the pictures. Here’s an overall view and some closeups. Nagasa is 29.25 inches and sori is .5 inch.
Thank you all very much.
