I'm hoping someone here can help me with this

I think it's a WWII era sword

Many thanks in advance

関住前川兼継作之

Seki-jū Maekawa Kanetsugu saku kore

Made by Maekawa Kanetsugu of Seki

You are right, it is a WW2-era sword. Note the small "Seki" stamp (関) above the inscription, that indicates it was made at the Seki arsenal.
