I do think it’s just a sword lying around Gold’s shop, but I think it’s significant that Neal grabbed that sword, the pirate looking one. The fact that he knows how to wield a pirate sword might indicate that he’s used one before, IE: the one Hook is giving Emma.
Also, thanks Slurpeez for putting in the pic. Apparently Capser-Peeves hates me today.
