It's a WWII shin gunto (sometimes they have older blades but hard to say). I know there are some fakes out there but I'm not very well versed in them, though fwiw I don't see anything suspicious.

Hi,
Just add DW40 above the guard, shake up and down the hilt and press the silver button on the fushi.
Normally you will be able to remove the tsuka.
Best wishes,

Definitely original.
Never clean the handle/nakago, aside of some oil/wd40 and gentle rubbing with a cloth.
