The Mon on the hilt looks to me like the Imperial Chrysanthemum Mon.

 

Now if that makes this a military dagger of a type from before 1900 I dont know.

Its not a kikumon on the dirk ,its a plum blossom.

Thomas, these Plum Blossom "Menuki" were standard on that type of dagger right? I know that he late war ones did not have the Menuki's (you thought me:)) so this would be standard right?

Yes, standard on this type. I dont think this type evolved like the IJN ones in materials.due to lack of metal mid/end war.
