Do we KNOW that The False Dragon's sword was made from a copy of LTT's sword? Or is that speculation on your part. Also, I don't have any of my books with me. But, could that have been something he found on one of his possible lives from when he traveled the portal stone the first time?
Oh and lastly, DomA, are you French? You mentioned something about the equivalent word in French.

I'm not French. French is my native language, though.
And yes, this is speculation, this is why it's a theory. There's no description of False Dragon sword, nor even much of Justice (which is 'great' and 'shiny, and that's all) in the books. All we know about Amalasan's paraphernalia is that he used what is called the 'Banner of the Light' nowadays, ie: the ancient symbok of Aes Sedai. It's suggestive, however, that he might have used the serpent-with-legs had he known about it. And it's possible he did - scholars-historians know this was the sigil on LTT's banner. Moiraine, for instance, recognized it for what it was the second she saw it.
For the rest, it's just hard to imagine anyone but a false Dragon would have used this sigil 'centuries ago'. The bit about a replica is derived from the the fact Rand specified it's odd it's him who recognized the sword, that it didn't come from LTT's memories. This implies LTT could have could have recognized the sword, otherwise there's nothing "odd" in the fact recognition came from Rand and not him...
