I certainly know that Augustine didn't carry a sword nor do any current Augustinians. If you don't believe me take a drive up to Marylake in King City just north of Toronto.
However, I'd be alot more worried about a collector like Deanna Natale carrying a sword than Augustine and what she might do to you if she catches you.
Muslims may have used swords to enforce their "Convert or die" ultimatum to infidels. Natale uses other weapons to convert infidel debtors to her beliefs but "Pay up or Die!" is still her ultimatum. If you doubt me, check out her thread on this forum.
On what you should do: it can be difficult to say once someone has a judgment registered against them. Probably the safest thing is to go to the Small Claims Court office where it was obtained and ask to see what is filed under your name. Don't tell the clerk anything more. Just give them your name and ask to see if there are any filings under it. But something that old may be stored in their archives, There might be a delay for them to dig up whatever documents exist. Or maybe, they'll have sufficient summary information on their computer system. The idea is to see with who (if anyone) the judgment is currently registered. Quite possibly it's all been forgotten by now. It's simply impossible to say. The point is you want to know if anyone could still be looking for you.
