I would suggest that you notify Nationals and see if you can request to either donate it to a chapter or keep it for your own for the next awarding.
Some chapters are a little lacking in the pocket, like mine, and so when an alum willed her badge to our chapter for initiates with some financial struggle, it came in most convenient. The Sword of Honor could fall under the same category.
I strongly advise against keeping it in a drawer or for your life. It symbolizes work and effort and is meant to award, thus.
Truly up to Nationals, and they would want it back, but they may be a bit lenient.
