Heron Armoury have a range of "migration period swords" which would fit for a 5th century germanic style spatha. They are not really expensive (between £150 and £300). Three upper ones are from Danish bog finds, IV-Vth century, then the number 4 is probably more VIth century and the last one is VIIIth century Pictish.
