Any info on this Japanese sword?

Hi,
Unfortunately the photos are inadequate for providing any real information. The katana (long sword) looks like it could be a WW II era, non traditionally made blade.
The Tanto looks like it was possibly refashioned from a broken sword. You should have removed the handle of it and taken a photo of the nakago as well.

The fittings may be legit, but again the photos are inadequate to say with any certainty.

All I can tell you for certain, is the handle wrapping is not original and it hurts my eyes just to look at it.
