> Merlin is on the chocolate frog cards, so the WW must have their own
 stories about him. But that makes me think, why would a wizard have a
 sword? Would he wield it in one hand while waving his wand with the 
other?

Pippin:
The sword is goblin-made -- they of course had no choice but to
develop other means of warfare. I suppose Gryffindor used it mostly on
creatures who were resistant to wizard magic. But it might also
wrong-foot  a wizard opponent to find himself facing a goblin sword
instead of a wand.
