Thanks for all your replies, very interesting information. When I saw it on the action site I thought it was some kind of north african dagger, but when I saw the japanese letters it was pretty clear it was not. Post 1945 seem like a good asumption due to the fact that the imperial seal was prohibited before that, but it also shows less wear then an older example would exibit. Also the blade is razor sharp, so its most likely a dagger meant to be used. Its a really nice dagger and im glad I added it to my collection.
