From where did St. Philopateer Abu Sefein get his swords?

The Synaxarium reveals that when St. Philopateer Mercurius replaced his father in leading the army to fight against the Berbers, Archangel Michael appeared to the young man to encourage and empower him about his purpose, triumph in the Lord, and martyrdom. Thus, one sword is from the army and the second sword is from Archangel Michael:

Archangel Michael appeared to Mercurius holding a shining sword. He said, "Mercurius, servant of Jesus Christ, don't be afraid. Take this sword from my hand and fight the Berbers with it. Don't forget your God when you come back victoriously. I am Michael the Archangel, whom God sent to inform you that you should suffer for the Lord's name. I shall be with you and support you until you complete your testimony. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified in you."

There are many saints who were soldiers, but are not depicted in the battalion attire. Icons usually portray the story or events for which a particular saint is best known.
