Steiner, you’ll need to post a full length picture of the naked blade plus some detail pics of hada, hamon and boshi. The better the input you can give the better your chance of an accurate answer. 
 

Also, I’d be wary of resting the blade on its tip or putting it on hard surfaces in case it causes damage. Welcome to NMB!

OK it is just about a katana as its over 60cm.

Its been shortened and the finish on the Nakago jiri and the two mekugi ana back this theory up. 

It does not appear to be signed. 

There is no way anyone can see the hada or hamon in those current images and I worry its been sanded over so all detail is lost. 

The fitting (and I mean no disrespect) are very mediocre and of relatively low quality when new. 

I am not convinced that the tsuba is not cast iron hand finished. 

It's really important you take a picture of the blade on a towel on the floor at midpoint so people can see the sugata.

It's still pretty hard to make out any detail. For me, the blade looks like it might have something of a Kanbun sugata (straightish, smallish point, some taper) so that would put it mid 17th century. Beyond that, hard to tell as someone has used an abrasive to "clean" the blade and obscured the detail in the hamon and hada and removed the patina from the tang. That there is no obvious loose grain visible in the pictures might point to a later rather than earllier attribution.
