The writing looks like an attempt at Japanese-looking characters. I don't think its a real mei. It looks to me like there is an acid-etched hamon on the blade. Its hard to see it through the scratched surface.

More pics please. The entire blade without habaki, the entire tang...few more.
It has traits of a fake, but also of an oil quenched wartime blade. Not convinced either way yet, but the mei is fake.
Habaki doesn't look great either. Kissaki has wrong grind. And is there a shinogi or shinogi line on it, or just a hi?
Hmmm...I'm leaning towards fake now.

Thank you for your comment. This is very important. Now I do not have a photo of this item, I offer to buy this item. but now I refuse. I will soon try to take this item from the seller and make the photo better, so that everything could be seen. Thank you and with respect.
