Going off of the quote that Rand recognizes the sword from his own memory, i would hesitate to accept the Rhuidean option because there he experienced other's memories. it would be akin to saying that Mat's knowledge of war was from his own memory rather than others.
he only options i can see are either the hero's of the horn, and then there would be the timing issue, OR Rand's memory of it came from his life's seen in the portal stones.
or a much more mundane answer like a book...

It was probably from his time in Rhuidean in the glass pillars *NM*

That was my first thought too, though I can't think where the Aiel would encounter it *NM*

I couldn't say which of the scenes it would be, but it's the only place I could imagine it being

I assumed he remembered it because it was Lews Therin's *NM*

But he specifically says that it is from his memories and not Lews Therin's *NM*

Was it just the scabbard or a new sword too? *NM*

Good question, I'm not sure, tho if I had to guess I'd say just the scabbard *NM*

So think the scabbard is an angreal/ter'angreal? *NM*

I'd bet it's answered in the prologue.

My thoughts exactly. The sword is the only part that makes sense as coming from the Prologue. *NM*

Hmmm... not Rhuidean - I'm betting the farm on it being Guaire Amalasan's scabbard

I like that a lot. Seems the most likely out of all of these, too.

I think you might be correct.

I thought the great sword means it is a very long two-handed sword.
