Fake Or Real Ww2 Japanese Nco Katana?

[KLJ]

I recently found and bought this sword, but I am wondering whether this is a real WW2 Japanese NCO katana (shin gunto type 95) or whether it is a fake. I think it is fake because there is are no Arabic numbers on the blade, the blade itself has whole different proportions than the usual and there is no habaki. Since I am new to this kind of stuff, I would like to hear your opinion on this.

It is important to do a little research before purchasing anything, as a 5 minute google search would have provided you enough genuine examples that you would know this for what it is. There is so much public information in books, forums and websites to view. Books are probably the tried and true Jim Dawsons, while a search of 'real Japanese NCO sword' would provide a wealth of informative sites and images.
