Here is what I believe is a WWII vintage setup. The sword tang has writing on both sides and the scabbard has been inscribed.
Sword and Scabbard looks like WWII?

Sword says
兼友作 Kanetomo saku (Made by Kanetomo)
昭和十九年八月日 A day in August, 1944.
It is a typical WW2 arsenal blade. The tang looks very well preserved.
The scratches on the scabbard are 青松キテ Aomatsu Kite. I guess this might be the name of the owner. Aomatsu is a slightly unusual last name, but it is a valid last name. Kite as a first name sounds weird to me, but maybe it was a valid name in the early 1900s.

Maybe a Navy sword? I'm not a specialist in these swords. A researcher named Ohmura has a very good site for military blades (you may already know). Also the Warrelics site has a lot of good researches/hobbyists on there who can answer detailed questions.
