Tassel looks like a reproduction, the tsuka isn't wrapped very well...

My thoughts are: this is an assemblage of real and reproduction parts. But much more than that is hard to tell. Can you get some more photos of the blade itself? Especially around the boshi and the machi.

 It has certainly been messed about with,and the haikan reversed during the process,  the saya cover is not original to the saya and has been put on the wrong way around. For me the big issue is the poor shape of the kissaki.
