So, this is a blade from a Type 98 Shin gunto setting. The blade is actually in pretty good polish. The tang was cut down, but it also doesn't look very old, so I'm thinking the blade is definitely Showa Era.

 

The mei is a bit strange. The first two characters are 石 正 ISHI MASA, and the last one, as far as I can tell, is 心 SHIN.  I've been looking can't cant find anything, so I'm wondering if my translation is correct and/or incomplete. Maybe there was another character that got cut?

off?  Any help would be appreciated!
