Unknown Type of Sword

[B Dorsett]

I inherited this sword but I can not find anything with the same type of handle on the web. I also learned to remove the handle but it appears to me to have brads on both sides hopefully someone can help.
It appears to be Japanese

Thank you
Not sure how to post photos if needed

You have to host the photos through a 3rd party and then link them here. Imgur is a popular site.

If you have this icon… I think you can add a pic.


If you don’t have the icon… 3rd party hosting or upgrade your membership level.
