| If all you want is a sword to hang on your wall, then it doesn't matter where you get it.  As long as it *looks* like what you want it to, then it'll serve quite well as a decoration.
 If you plan to actually use a sword, though, don't get within a mile of one of those replica swords.  They're horrible quality, the metal's usually crap, and they have a terrible tendency to be poorly balanced and uncomfortably heavy, because more thought has been put into their appearance than their functionality.
