Dear Ryan.

 

As this is in the 'Translation' section I was anticipating some kanji but I don't see any.  Post in the 'Nihonto' section for more opinions.  Any help that anyone is able to give/suggest will come from overall pictures of the blade and  kissaki.

 

Colour is always difficult to judge from images but given that some areas of the nakago appear quite clean while others are deeply rusted I would guess that the nakago has experienced rust damage as opposed to developing a good patina and that this is a heavily shortened sword.  The shape of the nakago also suggests this to me but that might be rust damage to the edges.

 

All the best.
