I believe so.

On second thought, do we want to list the treasure lines as follows?

Treasure: Gems of seeing

and the greatsword - how would that look? "2 gems of seeing plus xx greatsword"? or if we gave it a standard greatsword would that even need to be listed? do you want to give the greater black golem a greatsword?

Only the greater black golem has a sword, right? Since the greatsword itself itsn't magical, but is enhanced by its unholy armaments ability, I don't see any need to list it as treasure.

I suppose it could be a masterwork greatsword.

Nothing wrong with that. Adamantine would fit nicely with the whole "black" motif, and would help it kick the snot out of other golems.

I like

and if you disarm it and then use its own sword against it...

what changes should i make to the GBG's stat block to reflect it having a masterwork adamantine greatsword?

 

[Shade]

Masterwork adds +1 to attack rolls which doesn't stack with a magical enhancement.

Note that "masterwork adamantine" is reduntant...

Adamantine is so costly that weapons and armor made from it are always of masterwork quality; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below. Thus, adamantine weapons and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls...

So add +1 to the attack rolls, unless you want to change unholy armaments to treat the weapon as a +1 unholy weapon.
