Hello Karen,
This looks to be an original WW II Japanese officer's sword.
This might help you to get a translation of what is on the tang.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
Thank you, Ralph!
It does appear to be missing a small part or two though.

Yes, we thought so, too.
Interesting to see a 1945 dated blade mounted in the earlier pattern IJA mounts. At this late a date it is doubtful that the owner ever saw any combat.

Would anyone care to evaluate a value?
