My friend has bought a WW2 Japanese sword. We have never seen such a tang. Can You comment it?

Thank You in advance.

what's wrong with the tang?
Kanji looks like Seki arsenal stamp.

What about a vertical line on the tang?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. AN OVERALL SHOT OF THE NAKAGO MIGHT BE HELPFUL. THE PART YOU HAVE SHOWN ONLY ILLUSTRATES THE ARSENAL STAMP

IT APPEARS THAT THE TANG OF ONE SWORD HAS BEEN WELDED TO A BROKEN BLADE. THIS HAS BEEN DONE WITH OLD BLADES BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR A MILITARY BLADE.
