Unfortunately if it is not on your character and not at the post master, then your weapon is in that place that the Vex keep locked out of time and space.
Bungie does not replace lost/glitched/broken-down/missing/eaten-by-space-worms weapons or characters regardless of how it happens.
This is why it is always a good idea to have space on your character and not rely on the Post Master for catching your items.
Thanks for the reply. It's a shame that I can't get a replacement, now I just have to keep trying vault of glass on hard mode for a while until I get another
Well i guess we're lucky in different areas, ive had 4 hawkmoons and dismantled 3 of them. sorry to burst the bubble, but im also still looking for icebreaker and ghorn
