Synthetic blades are used in HEMA sparring as an inexpensive alternative to steel sparring swords. However, although they are blunt and won't cut or stab, they still should only be used with proper padding and eye protection.
Edit: Wanted to add that synthetic swords are quite durable and have some flex to them so you won't get too hurt from a stab. However, edge-on, these blades are stiff and definitely can hurt a lot. They're very useful in sparring because the weight and feel is quite like that of steel except that the blades are slippery. Very fun to use. And Purpleheart Armoury is another known purveyor of HEMA stuff.
For example, this Red Dragon Armoury Longsword (on Amazon because their website isn't loading for me)
Edit 2: If you don't want to buy padding or just don't want to risk breaking bones (which can happen), look up larping weapon shops or tutorials. If you buy them, they're usually made of a fairly durable foam that won't hurt your opponent. Of course, they do not have the same heft and feel that a steel or synthetic weapon would, but are usually pretty safe to sling around.
Some googling later and I'm pretty sure it actually is an Anduril or Narsil replica.
Amazon has all of that stuff, and it's not outrageously expensive if you're putting together full plate and doing your own leatherwork to go along.

amazon what are your thoughts on this one should I ask for it?
Heres the link to it in Amazon. Its advertised as full tang, but not sure it would really hold up getting hit around. As a wall hanger though it looks real nice and is of quality. Sharp at the point but not on the sides. The sheath fits it nice and snug too.

I have that sword! It is indeed metal, but its ability to hold an edge is questionable. You can buy it on Amazon for like $70

Amazon has them in stock at the moment!
The traditional version from the novels:

And then, once upon a time, there was the authorized Museum Replicas version of a Heron Mark sword, with a different (but valid) interpretation of a heron mark on it:
Red Dragon / Rawlings Synthetic are safe practice swords. Many HEMA schools use them in their intro classes.
If you want to step up to something nicer, for around $120 USD there are better (more realistic weight) options.
> Most important to me is that it's accurate to the actual thing in the movies/books.
The United Cutlery replica is accurate to the movies. Maybe outside your budget: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/United-Cutlery-Lord-Rings-Anduril/dp/B00152O9U4 (but maybe you can find it cheaper). Steel (but stainless steel rather than carbon steel), but decorative rather than functional. At least, this gives you something to compare cheaper replicas with to see how movie-accurate they are.
As for accuracy to the book, there is little detail in the book except about the inscription:
> on its blade was traced a device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes
which the UC replica essentially matches - the Sun is right next to the guard, and the Moon near the tip, and the stars and runes between them.
The scabbard is also described:
> It was overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves wrought of silver and gold, and on it were set in elven runes formed of many gems the name Andúril and the lineage of the sword.

I know one on Amazon but it doesn’t have the pedestal and you should spray paint it yourself Link: Zelda Link Master Sword Twilight Princess Fantasy Sword with Plaque - Blue (BLUE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C9Q8HTE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_HY4FTNEZYNCK94W7137H
I think the only option under 80 are the red Dragon synthetics at 70. If you can come up with a little bit more money the Blackfencer ones from socal swords are $95 and absolutely worth the cost upgrade from the red Dragon. Blackfencer https://socalswords.com/products/synthetic-longsword

There’s wood options out there that are less expensive but if you ever want to spar another person or join a hema club you’ll definitely want the synthetic over wood.
BUDK used to sell them. My brother bought two at the height of his mall ninja phase. They're on amazon now. Definitely could find them elsewhere too. Its been listed as forearm machete, spy watcher sword, and a lot of others.

Thank you! I got it off of Amazon the construction of it is actually pretty good, obviously not something you'd want to swing around but definitely a great wall hanger

Mine is this one, technically it is not accurate as the herron is not also inlaid in the hilt(important for the prophecies) https://www.amazon.com/Museum-Replicas-Officially-Licensed-Wheel/dp/B00421A4FO
This is a much better one but it does cost 100x more: http://www.fableblades.com/TamsSword.html
I was looking at that one. Is that the one you have?
I also looked at this one too. Don’t know how good it is.

Ok on Amazon there is a $50 master sword replica. The paint job is kind of bad so you should spray paint the blue parts purple or indigo and the yellow parts gold. And it might take a couple of weeks but the result will be worth it.

I buy this pack on amazon. Then use dollar store paint brushes and tooth brushes. I found that the really cheap microfibers just kinda spread stuff around, so I've avoided those. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X95YDWV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_XYDSMJHP813SQ5YB5YNX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It is sharp, but I simply told my mom it wasn’t and that convinced her. It’s not sharp enough the cut skin very easily, but it definitely isn’t dull.

Alright.
It's this, I mainly wanted it just to have it and maybe cut some soft stuff, maybe to have as a conversation starter or something
