The game pretty much covers the reconstruction of Relic-level weapons within its own game Lore. The process in and of itself indicates that it could very well be duplicated multiple times in which many 'Relic' Weapons exists.
It's when we get into tales of the armor itself, due to the variances in how the gear is actually obtained, that discussion becomes one of taste.
However this two was covered in game-lore, when it was mentioned in the IC postings of the Seventh Umbral Era story-line on Lodestone that Adventurers by the droves were reviving the old ways, both in terms of skills and in gear acquirement.
It's safe to say from these evidenced points that the Lore Versions of these weapons are in fact reproductions and can exist in multiplication.Â
I also recall that the development team eventually wanted to create unique weapons that could only be temporarily obtained, and these would be the true Legendary weapons. It is unknown whether or not this design concept has survived through to A Realm Reborn or not, but I do note the absence of well noted weapon and tools such as Excalibur, Aegis, Bravura, and Claustrum, etc.
In the end, I default to what has already been said for my own work - re-flavor it. A weapon with personal history is always more attractive than a weapon with OOC relevance.
