Translation help please

[Patinamax]

My store received this sword from a friend who believed it  to be a less expensive one - and parts of it do look cheaper, but I am unable to translate it. Any help or translation would be appreciated, and I can share more pictures as well, mostly trying to get an idea of what I have at the moment, as I am still a novice. Thank you!

That was unfortunately what I had expected, but I wanted someone with more experience to inform me. Thank you!

@Patinamax the characters also appear to be upside down. If it is Japanese kanji, they would be read as the tip is towards the sky and the end of the nakago (tang) is towards the floor. As the sword is held in theis position, the kanji is on the left side of the nakago for katana, wakizashi, and tanto. and on the right side for tachi. (<-there are some exceptions to this but this is normally how it is)

 

All the best,
