This appears to have been crudely modified post war.

I agree with John. I don't have any type 3 gunto, but I'm not liking what I see. 

 

The tsuka has been incorrectly re-wrapped, the fuchi ana has been filed, the tsuka has been spliced with a piece of wood where the chuso goes and it looks like there's a significant gap between the fuchi and tsuka, and the tsuka looks to have a shim for the nakago mune. I'd be questioning the tsuka, I would want to see it bare without fuchi.
