I'm not sure. My (late) grandfather was in the pacific theater in WW2 so it's possible.
Actually, I'm quite confident it's from WW2 - I just couldn't tell you the country of origin, be it from a Japanese soldier in the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Japan, itself, or whatever.
I have some pictures of (presumably) my grandfather and other soldiers posing with it and a katana (I don't have the katana in my possession - it was stolen a few days after its original owner was killed).
