A warden's sword for Harry...

Plus we all know that a wizard's Preferred weapon is a staff.
Well, except for Morgan. But he's dead.

Wizards yes, but basically all wardens carry both, no? I know Luccio has both, and I though most of the others (including Claros and Morgan) did as well at one time or another? Granted all Wardens are under Luccio's Command and Swordsman appears to be mandatory now, but maybe not always.

Actually, I'd say no. Swords after Luccio changed weren't being given any longer. So, they all carry Staffs. And I'd Say the new ones all carry firearms, but not swords any longer.
The old guard, for sure, but not the newbies.

It still feels reasonable that the white council should be able to give wardens magical protections or other defenses. Not super powerful ones perhaps, but some standard defensive and support equipment. Yes it takes effort to build and maintain, but there are a lot of non-wardens wizards who can do the initial build and there are not that many new wardens.
Each warden can maintain their own equipment.
Rasins:
Oh, I agree, they should. Maybe they do, but we just haven't seen it yet.

As of DB Swordsmanship was considered a valuable enough skill to make it's training mandatory even when the warden in question had not particular talent for it (there was that one that died in DB as an example). I have to assume the justification for that was not purely because of the sword enchantments; if they were then a far better tactic would be to move the enchantment to some form that does require dedicated wielding, freeing up a hand for spells or staff fighting or guns.
