As mentioned, improperly polished - no yokote. No smith signing Unshu Yoshinaga in either Fujishiro or Hawley. Does seem to be a legit Nihonto, circa 1800's. Omori STYLE fuchi/kashira (but not Omori), nice sukashi tsuba.
Hamon seems a bit bright; maybe acid polished/etched??? Just my humble
observations.
