When the El Patron weapons first came out, there was a crude version of everything. A few weeks later Disney decided to limit Basic Access players to crude weapons, and a week after that, exactly 1 month after the El Patron weapons were released, they converted the crude version of the bayonets, muskets, and broadswords into common. The statement in the Grog Blog refered to above was the announcement of the change.
So yes, there were crude broadswords at one time, but they no longer exist. If you had one, after the change it would show as common and be locked out.
From the Grog Blog:
Loot for Basic & Unlimited Access Members May 21, 2010
With the expanded Sea Chest, Pirates are now able to carry more loot than before. However, there are some differences in which loot items Basic and Unlimited Access Members can fully use. Here are a few points you need to know about collecting loot after defeating an enemy:
Basic Access Members:
If you are a Basic Access Member, you will be able to collect all items from the loot drops.
Basic Access Members can only use Crude items. Please note:
There are no Crude Broadswords, Muskets, Bayonets, Daggers, and Voodoo Staves in weapons.
There are no Crude jewelry and tattoos. However, there are Crude clothing items which you can collect and use.
Basic Access Members can purchase and use healing tonics but can only create and use the first few potions in Potion Brewing.
When you get a weapon drop, check the weapon card to see if it is a Crude weapon. To use a weapon, you will need to train for it and reach the skill level to unlock it. Your weapon card will indicate the necessary requirements to unlock a weapon.
