NCO Katana - is it worth restoration?

I have an NCO Katana that bears a glyph and serial numbers. This is a bare Katana without handle or sheath. Is there any way to find out the manufacturer and/or date/year of manufacture?

It is rusted and is in rough shape as can be seen.

I have heard that if it were to be done, it should be done professionally, but cost is factor. If restoration is "not worth the effort" then what?
