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.

From what is visible in the pictures I would have to agree with Peter that this is a recent Chinese item. Close-ups would settle the question. |

Eric, i see that you have deleted you opening post along with the photos. While i understand your disappointment i would like to suggest that learning to ID copy blades like this for collectors without a lot of experience in this area of weaponry can be as useful and important as seeing the real deal. Leaving the pictures up for future research is always a good idea.
