Another Type 95 Authenticity request

I recently picked up this Type 95 and was wondering about its authenticity. My main hobby is milsurp gun collecting so I’m not very informed on swords and the like. I didn’t see any of the hallmarks of the more obvious fakes. From my limited research, it looks to be a late second pattern based on the tsuba and blade serial. The saya is non-matching. The Fuchi stamps seem to be Suya Shoten, Tokyo inspection, Kokura Arsenal.
