I think that most of us would be buying few swords if only for their practicality (there is, however, practicality in a good profit)! As for practicality once upon a time, many historical weapon forms are impractical, or at least not as efficient as they might be, for a variety of reasons. Some of these, as early examples, are quite valuable--at least to Artzi!! But that does not convey significance upon the modern reproductions.
