I know I confess this to my eternal shame, but I'm not that knowledgeable about Arthurian mythology. I thought his sword was the one he pulled from the Stone (that is, Callandor)?
Callandor refers to Caliburn, which later became Excalibur. Arthur later received a scabbard which possessed magical properties, most commonly protecting him from harm in battle, or not bleeding from wounds. (The times in all of this are fairly relative, there is just so much Arthurian mythology that it's impossible to give a unified timeline, so I'm giving a most common scenario)
In most of the later legends Morgan ends up stealing the scabbard and it is used against Arthur in battle. Nimue comes and saves the day, and eventually the scabbard is lost, and once it's lost never found again.

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. *NM*

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.
