the best thing to do would be to list it on ebay and put a high reserve price on it so no one wil actualy win it. This way you may not know the details of the item but you will learn what people are willing to pay for it.

Ebay is always a great place.
The real value of most japanese swords, since the vast majority are army issue & therefore cheap, is the hilt. Sometimes its a family design and finely made, even heirlooms. Those can have value.
Keep everything together, if if parts are dirty or incomplete.

Sigh ... send me a picture if you can. Check if there's a storage space in the bottom of the pommel for a scroll or no. Send a picture also of the sheath. Give history on how it was acquired. I'll run it past some friends.

First, try a search on EBay for like items. Second, try a search on froogle.com for swords such as yours. Third, ask your local museum for assistance; while they may not have the answer it is likely that they can direct you to someone who is knowledgeable.
