Replica Historical Swords are sold to Collectors, and used in Reenactments, Renaissance Faires, and of course, for Halloween.
However, the real Replicas are collected by history buffs, who know what they want, for example a replica
WW2 Japanese Sword or they may be Civil War collectors, who attend the many Civil War reenactments held all over the country, and collect Civil War Sabers (often spelled SABRE).
You can find listings of all these type of events, there are probably some in your backyard, and if you have never been to a Renaissance Faire, it is really amazing, like taking a step back in time. Guys really like the Reenactments, which is not surprising!!
Anyway, if you would like to see a variety of historical replica swords, try Swords To Buy or any of the above, and you may find a whole new hobby and meet a lot of very interesting people.
