Personally I don't agree with the sword as a gift thing. But the sword will turn out being Justice. There is no other sword I recall that Rand has seen that was in any way significant.
But why would Hawkwing paint dragons on the scabbard? Makes absolutely no sense at all. Myself I think it's Amalsan's sword.
NaCl(and recognised from a book when Rand was researching everything dragonish in tear)H2O

It's possible that whoever gave Rand the sword just fancied it up and personalized it with some paint before giving it to him, and the paint was not a part of the original.
Plot relevance of the sword

I'd favor it being Justice, they probably tell us in the prologue
