As Signature Gear: On B85, each point will give 50% of Starting Wealth -which at TL 9 is $30,000 - or $15,000 per point spent. Following rules in Basic, Magic, Thaumatology and Dungeon Fantasy, a Silver Tomahawk with Accuracy, Puissance and Ghostsword could be squeezed out in 1 point!
As an Advantage: Following the example on Thaumatology 115, The same weapon would be in the 20 point range (It doesn't have the Armor Divisor of the sample sword, or the stabbing Alternate Attack, but it can be thrown)!
Suggestions?

It's been awhile since I played Shadowrun, and I've never been much for playing mages/adepts/whatever in that setting, but to preserve the feel, I'd say you have a Campaign rule that says Sig Gear can only be used for non-magical equipment.
