Sword(s) of dreams

Obviously not an easy choice here (well, if we assume someone else will take the bill at least), but sticking to something a bit more humble than the Sword of Charlemagne or so (not that I'd complain...)

1: a Swedish "drabantvärja" m/1701, or a similar officer's sword. Known provenance obviously a plus.

2: a good Japanese daito. The Rai Kunitoshi up for sale over at nihonto.ca for example would do the trick.

3: A Viking age-style sword from Patrick Barta.

Honourable mention to pretty much all things wootz and jade.
