Let's say it is in a desired condition for WW2 collectors.

And if gendaito, hen it would be considered nihonto and not machine made military, which would raise the value considerably.

As a general rule gendaito (hand forged) don't have a Showa or Seki stamp, they can have a star or a tan stamp & a few others. I suggest your sword is a machine made gunto with oil temper, still a nice condition sword.
