I think it highly depends on the quality of the metal and the finishing
touch. I have a catalog which holds combat-ready swords from $500 to
$1100, however these swords come in with a lifetime guarantee.
I had mine made by a blacksmith I know and only paid approximately $250.
It's a very nice sword that is completely combat-ready (it has already
been tested more than once.
