Couple factors when determining if weapon is good or not:

Weapon material - gives all sortsa flags, (silver vs undead, etc)
gives also density, tough materials give out
damage bonus for edged weapons.

Weapon weight - determines how many damage dies the weapon uses,
but also, heavier weapons, make it harder to hit,
and light weapons make it easier to hit.

Magic - the great unknown, a multitude of magical effects
persist in weapons, unseen to the eye.

Quality - Qualities range from very poor to exellent, giving
bonuses to hit and damage.
