You could always cut down an old sword blade and make a custom La Tene sword. I do it all the time. You just need to find an old double edged blade or sword for sale on Ebay, and then use an angle grinder or bench grinder to grind the tang down to what you need, and then just carve a wooden handle for it. For a scabbard, you can easily make one out of thin sheet metal, or even cut a larger copper pipe in half, and then make it form there. If you want more tips, and some diagrams of La Tene sword assembly, just send me a PM.
