He already had it on the team photo he showed Yang back during V3... But he went to Beacon to learn to kill huntsmen, so he couldn't posibly have already been a Maria fan.

Maybe he originally only had a sword and modified it to incorporate the scythe while at Beacon?

Maria was still relatively young before she went into hiding. She well known before then, other then her name and silver-eyes, so Qrow probably heard of her by the time he was in Beacon.
