Right, I gotta find the one. I'm at school right now though so I'll have to wait until I get home.

That one you posted Nathan is. Not only have we never found a blade with an eagle head pommel (which is blatantly obviously based on the statue of the four tetrarchs) but the pattern of rust on that blade is too even to be real oxidization of an artefact. (Well, its real oxidization chemically but not an artefact).

I noticed a few look like forgeries. One had a medieval-style blade with a Cologne chape that looked like someone had put in an acid bath.
