Officer sword ID help please

Hi, I’m hoping some knowledgeable people here may be able to help read the signature for me on this blade. I think I have some right but not sure about the others. Blade has a few nicks, scratches and ugly spots but overall not to bad. I know the tassel isn’t right but it came with it so thought I would just leave it.
? 1 and ? 4 look the same to me and I think ? 2 is ‘H’  no idea what ? 3 is. Any extra info would be greatly appreciated..... Thankyou

Could you give us more pictures of the fittings? Including the tsuba?  This seems to be one of those intentionally darkened or blackened gunto.

Yes, I will post more photos when I get home. The Tsuba is a dark brown in colour the photo makes it look black.

I do not have high hopes that is a Japanese tassel, it looks more like a European type. It doesn't have the right knot shape, stem or wire cord. These are genuine Kyu Gunto tassels for reference; General, field grade and all ranks.

My tassel does look a little different to those. It’s very close to the one on the far left. Thank you

tsuba is definitely brown.
