How did we not know about this before??? Well, now we do 
For some reason, these pieces are listed under 'historical' rather than 'licensed'. Way to market

The Operative's Sword
Combing the galaxy for their prey, the Operatives are the most clandestine hunters employed by the Alliance. This one piece, high carbon, tempered steel sword is every bit as sleek and balanced as the movie version. The wooden grip is finished with a wrapped cord for extra secure maneuvering. The sword comes complete with an adjustable leather back scabbard, with nylon straps, making it a comfortable addition for any secret operation. #500962...$165
Overall 32" Blade 24" long, 1 1/8" wide, 3/16" thick Wt.-1 lbs. 8 oz.

Shiny! Thanks for the link Phoenix Rose. These will look great on the wall next to my replica Mal pistol.
Maybe my wife will get this for me for Christmas this year.

I love Museum Replicas Ltd. I get all my RenFaire stuff from them. Looks like i'll be getting Reaver armaments soon too.

Does anyone know what kind of steel the Op's sword is made out of in this replica? "Tempered" doesn't really tell me much, and I like my display pieces to be functional as well as elegant. If it's not high-carbon, then I don't think it's worth it.
"See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like."

I am going to hazard a guess and say it's 420 Stainless Steel.
If you follow the link below, you can see a sword set that BudK offers. Before anyone says that these are not the same swords, BudK has offered (4) of these types of sword sets. (2) of them are anodized(sp?) black and 2 are stainless. It looks like they are not currently offering the "Operative's Sword" probably because the model's been bought out to sell for the higher "movie replica" price.
I actually owned the exact sword the Operative used a year before the movie was put into production. The only difference is that my sword has the nylon handlewrap like the link below, instead of the leather wrap that the propmaster obviously used to make the sword more elegant.

That's really cool Rose! 
I found a site that makes Jayne hats - http://www.wearwithstyle.com/hat5.html
Does anyone know if this is real or has anyone gotten one from here?
