De'Sha, from the clan Mon, is a famed weapons maker in our country, and is widely considered one of, if not the, best. He asks if anyone would like any of the following traditional weapons (Cost for bladed weapons depends on customer's exact requirements for the hilt.):

Longsword

You don't have longbows?...oh well, it looks nice but I don't have a medieval nation. I could make one, of course, but there aren't enough other medieval stores and besides I already have a modern tech one...nvm...nice storefront though.

We're not medieval- we're a modern tech nation whose ancient warrior code of honor prohibits the use of "weapons that fit in the hand of an honorable warrior that make more noise than his slingshot."

We're selling these to raise money to buy aircraft, tanks, and other vehicles.

Hmm...you'll need a lot of buys ;) and tanks are louder than slingshots.

I will order one crossbow, the wife is always complaining that the AK-47 I carry around is a social "faux pas" perhaps a more historically relevant weapon will improve my image.

Order confirmed.

Note how it says "fits in the hand." So we can have artillary, tanks, etc. Just no small arms.

Hmm. Intresting.

How much would a single (extremely lavish) ceremonial long sword cost? I'm talking about a sword that would have inlayed precious gems, gold, mithril, etc.

Also, could we get the blade made of solid titanium instead?

The hilt must be lavish, and inlayed with the image of a facehugger (our currency). The blade must have a beautiful inlayed chryssalid (our national animal) on it, with the words "E Pluribus Facehuggeris"
As for the hilt material, use your discretion. It must look beautiful and lavish, however.

We are willing to pay any price for such a ceremonial weapon.

(Legnth would be around four feet)

Let's just say 10,000 Dezas? We are sorry for the delay, as well.
