Bargain

I posted in this forum a couple of days ago asking for help in identifying this sword. After learning more about it with help from the community, I would like to sell it if possible. I would rather it be with someone who appreciates it and knows more about it than it just sit with me. From what I’ve found, it seems it ranges from $1,200-$1,800 ’m asking $1,400 or best offer, just to get it off my hands. More photos are available upon request! Thanks in advance!

We found this Katana in a storage unit and the only source we have is Chat GPT. Supposedly the letters on the side translate to “April 1943” and the other side is “Resident of Noshu, Kane”. It seems to think this is an authentic WW2 officers Katana, but we know how AI can be sometimes. Any help or info would be appreciated. Also looking for approximate value from someone who is knowledgeable. Thanks!
