Right now we make blades for them (they are blunt for use by reenactors and historical fencers, but could be sharpened on request). We are currently trying to find a satisfactory source for baskets. Once that is done then we will be offering the entire sword.

I know a number of active Marines who own kilts in this tartan.

Well, the next time you go to the SA Games, be sure and stop by my clan tent. It's the one with 'MacIntyre' on the tent banner. I'll have some water, ale, or the water of life for you.
