Is this Wakizashi a cut down Katana?

[Tonkotsu]

This wakashaki is unsigned and the tang does not taper. I think it is a cut down long sword. It has three holes in the tang from being mounted several times. Do you have any idea of the date? The tsuba is iron with what I believe is a temple bell. Is the tsuba signed or are the marks just random? I would very much appreciate any information you can give me on this sword.

Thank you,

Hard to be 100 percent sure, but it does look suriage to me.

Tsuba says "Nobuichi". There are at least four artists who used the name Nobuichi, all of the them late Edo. 

The wakizashi definitely looks shortened. Call it an Edo period piece, maybe even assembled for foreign tourists in the latter part of the 19th century.

Looks more like a WAKIZASHI.
