I'm sorry to say this, but this is fake, I'm not sure what the protocol is in this case, but this is 100% a fake... Any info you need is in this link ohmura-study.net/957.htmlIf this sort of thing is frowned upon let me know and I'll delete

Sorry I took so long to answer, I did not see you had replied.
So the type 95 this is a fake of was very strictly regulated, just some of the things on your copy that are off are:
No habaki
Wrong arsenal stamps
Wrong metal used for the handle
Mei on the blade, none of these have a mei, they were all machine made, and no katana would have the mei on the blade.
Saya is wrong
The link works for me, but if you Google ohmura gunto you should be able to find the site, its an excellent resource for Japanese military swords.
I'm fine with taking this to private messages, and of course delete any comments
