According to Dave, Cerebus found the helmet, medallions, and sword in his travels (issue 196). As he is seen with these objects in issue 1, it had to be prior to that time.
Cerebus loses the sword in issue 12. Jaka Tavers returns it to him in issue 36.
Also according to Dave (in issue 195 and issue 196), these three items were crafted by a Pigt shaman-king from a hard, gray metal. The shaman-king gathered his people together and stated that those items would be his, and he plunged the sword into his chest spilling his blood all over the items and killing himself in the process. This gave the objects a special power, which if Cerebus had been in possession of all three when he met the Pigts in issue 5 they would have turned into gold and he could have commanded the large stone aardvark sculpture.
