Thoughts and comments on blade.

I picked up this sword a few years ago at a antique shop and put it up on the rack. The blade has two hada ware, but the blade is a thick heavy beast with a large o- kissaki,in WW2 civilian mounts with hangers and the price was right. I couldn't leave it behind. The blade has a 26" nagasa, kissaki is 3" long, the sori is 7/16", mihaba 1 5/16" wide, kasane is 7mm. I was wondering what you guys think about it, how long it was originally, the age. I'm sure it's no priceless treasure with it's flaws / condition. I'm sorry for my horrible photos.
