There are a lot of ways to represent loyal weapons, but Signature Gear (SG)doesn't really do the trick even when it isn't summon-able. Mjolnir doesn't work for others (ala an advantage represented as an item with "Cannot be Stolen"), couldn't be bought at any cost (no $$$ to figure its SG cost), and it does things that aren't possible with equipment*.

*Not just returning. It's also effectively indestructible even when Thor uses it in ways that a VH hammer that was just SG wouldn't survive. Remember SG has plot protection from the GM breaking it or taking away. SG doesn't protect any item you use in ways that would destroy that item, nor does it help if you give the item away.
