Sorry David, your sword is a classic Chinese fake. Koshirae are wrong, blade shape is wrong, Hamon is fake and kissaki is terrible. This "sword" has never seen Japan.

Besides what has already been mentioned, I have some problems with the blade mark (the crescent). It does not look right for the time if you ask me. I'd also say it's a Victorian copy. Those are...

Hi Andrew,
Please show pictures of the whole sword and, if possible, the tang so we can probably be able to identify it.
