Honestly, i'd not want one that was too accurate due to the counterfeiting issue. Ebay has a rotating population of fakes that people think are real, or portray as real. There is an Indian made martial Bowie- a $40 knife- that they are stating was made by Ames and is civil war era, for $1900+, right now. But, lets say we DID make a really good quality, working version with enough changes to confound the counterfeiters, I'd say it would be in the $300-$400 range in todays dollars, and factory made. Significantly higher for a good forged blade.
