Need larger pictures to tell for sure, but could be a Japanese WW II era pilots sword. The style of mounts are WW II gunto, but can't see enough detail to tell for sure just what it is.

Eric, i see that you have deleted you opening post along with the photos.

Leaving the pictures up for future research is always a good idea. :)
