Nice.

They're decorative only. Depending on when supply orders them, some are better than others but they're still only like 200 dollars.

Cold steel is the only one who makes "combat grade", "in-regulation" sabres. Both of those claims are highly debatable.

Ceremonial use only.

My grandfather retired from the Marines in 1974 as a Lt. Col. He had a sword that we still have in the family. My cousin got it when Granddad passed away. I don't know if they still issue them any more.

They don't issue them. You have to buy your own or have it gifted to you.
I kinda want to get an NCO sword as a wall hanger even though I never even used one when I was in.
