If so, how much would it cost?

Yes. True swordmakers still make them today. I was at a Rennaisance Festival, the proprietor of Angel Swords was an American trained by a Japanese family in the way of Japanese swordmaking. He had several Damascus steel blades- Absolutely gorgeous!! One was a full set of swords a Samauri would have owned, back then it was between 10-15k. Probably a little bit more today.

It would cost a lot. Real Damascus steel used "Wootz" steel from India, and that isn't made anymore since the 18th century. A few attempts have been made to reproduce Damascus steel. Pattern welded steel isn't Damascus steel.

as erik metioned pattern welded steel isn't the same as damascus steel. but it is about as close as you can get today. as to how much it costs...if you have to ask you can't afford it...
