I highly doubt that the Arc family would let their family heirloom sword rust and break and generally go to shit. It's not like it was abandoned in a cave somewhere. Though, the sword had nicks and scratches in the blade before Jaune had it redone in Volume 4, which is normal wear and tear. Even Ruby's scythe had scratches in the paint and nicks in the blade in Volume 4, after she had been using it a lot during the timeskip.

And yeah, like SYUTK said, the Relics are hidden in the academies. Personally, I think the sword the King of Vale used was the Relic of Destruction and that he really did hide it in one of the academies, probably the one in Vacuo.
