Dunno what place in the lore AF2 gear has (besides being badass) but it may suggest that Saint Reinette's spear (the spear that Gae bolg is modeled after) May just be a traditional ishgardian design and not a weapon of particular uniqueness in terms of looks.
Multiple AF armor and multiple Gae Bolgs have always been a canon lore thing. A Gae Bolg is crafted for every Azure Dragoon as well as an individual set of Drachen Mail. So imagine how many hundreds of Azure Dragoons there have been over the course of 1000 years. The set that the Player Character graverobs is one of many.
There is still, however, only one Azure Dragoon chosen every generation to champion Ishgard, and even the Player Character doesn't technically count as this generation's "Azure Dragoon" if you go back and talk to Ser Alberic. He'll say it's the first time in Ishgardian history that the Holy See has been without one. Meaning, Player Character doesn't count because Player Character isn't Ishgardian.
