Yes, the alledgedly "standard' (i.e. non-thrusting) Gurps Broadsword is as blunt as a bokken and is a very rare item historically. Of course, I've never seen a full length Rapier that had no sharp edges either. Smallswords yes but Rapiers, no.
If you were wanting to introduce fine distinctions some of the swords mentioend by the OP might only get a +1 Thrust/Impale instead of +2 damage.
