Good smiths charged a premium for their work even back then. If a wealthy person who hired a body guard chances are they hired the best not some lacky off the street. A high paid professional would only want the best sword and they cost big $$$. We are not talking about mass produced weapons like a machete this would be simlar to a custom made knife today good ones go for $1200 and up so I figure one months salary should be in the ball park.
