I so rarely have anything to contribute to this forum that it took me a while to add to this discussion. And in that delay, I think the issue of this blade has largely been solved. It is ABSOLUTELY a blade made my the Japan Sword Co. Ltd.
This company was operated by Inami Hakusui who was a kind and generous man who wrote a book entitled "The Japanese Sword" in 1948. This book did a great deal did a great deal to encourage sword appreciation. They also do a great deal of business in modern and military swords so my bet is that this little blade came from one of their over-the-counter daggers that found its was to Africa.
