Not that I can recall.
Remember Be'lal's dialogue about the fact they took a sport and turned it into a martial art again, and Sammael's scar.
Be'lal stated that they took the tame art of swordplay and made it into a deadly art. Sammael was a master of the tame form of the game. Be'lal was merely reacting to the fact that Rand had a sword, and so he channeled his own one.
There is no evidence that Sammael's scar was from a sword. In all likelihood Sammael received it in a One Power duel with Lews Therin, and any number of weaves could have done that. Saying that Sammael's scar came from a sword is like saying that Rand's hand was chopped off by Semirhage.
I don't think it's unlikely that Lews Therin had a sword, but there's no proof that he did. There's no evidence from past visions or text that Aes Sedai in the AOL had swords. I find it difficult to believe that Lews Therin was armed with a sword, but his own men had shocklances.

You're saying everything must be either literal or metaphoric?

Rand saw it when the Horn of Valere was blown in book 2 and the ghost of Hawkwing had it *NM*

Maybe I'm stupid, but why would Hawkwing have been using Lews Therin's sword?

Wouldn't Lews Therin's sword be buried under Dragonmount? And didn't Rand say it was his own memory?
