Smith and Date, Please

[Bruce Pennington]

Thanks guys!  It seems it's a Meiwa date, but Meiwa 33 doesn't make sense.

It does not look a genuine nihonto.

I wondered about the odd finish on the blade, but wrote it off to bad photography or bad amateur polish.  It's got a legit gunzoku tsuba, and what looks like a legit civil saya with military ashi.  So, it could be a modern Chinese fake blade fitted with civil/WWII fittings.

The fuchi/kashira look like stamped reproductions. Kojiri looks good and I would gladly take the civilian gunzoku tsuba. lol. The shinogi line looks to be 1/2 way down the width of the blade rather than 1/3 -1/4 of the width. I would say the blade is a reproduction, mixed with some authentic and reproduction fittings.

The date is 明治 (Meiji). 

But the smith's name is unusual and I think probably fake. 藤雄治太郎  (Fujio Harutarō - or multiple other possible readings). 

Fujio (with these kanji) is an almost unheard of family name in Japan. 

[Kiipu]

While not common, it is indeed a name as seen via 世外井上公伝: 附同勝之助君略伝. 第5巻.

藤雄治太郎 = Fujio Harutarō.

明治三年 = 1870.

I don’t know much about the military fittings but the blade looks not Chinese to me. 
Seeing how crisp and high the Shinogi is I would wonder if this is a Chinese production blade, maybe a showato. 
Just my thoughts without evidence supporting it.
