"WW2" translation confirmation

[spellsword]

I think this one is also WW2 era but the mei seems less refined and much harder to read. I also found stamps and marking on the spacers (seppa?). any help would be greatly appreciated even confirmation of a fake.

Looks like:

義兼 (Yoshikane)

三品 由一 Real Name

 

The 3 dots are just punch marks to tighten the hole on the nakago.  The two different numbers tell us that at least one of the seppa aren't original to the rig.  Whether a replacement during or after the war - no way to know.
