@Zbignev Drotav, I did some experimenting. There are a key points related to your issue.
1) The Initiate's ghost spawns as soon as the quest is active, and will keep spawning till the journal update says you found the silvery mace.
2) The journal only updates to "you found the mace" when you actually place the mace into your inventory.
3) Selling the mace, dropping the mace, or equipping it on a Companion, doesn't change the journal.

Thus, if the journal says you found the mace, at one point it had to be in your inventory. If you sold it, or dropped it somewhere, it's lost. Fingers crossed you stored it somewhere (Tower chest, Town Hall Vault, equipped to a Companion).

Some side notes,
1) If a NPC lands the killing blow, the initiate's ghost doesn't drop a loot bag. BUT, the journal doesn't update so the ghost will respawn with the map. Thus, the mace can still be gotten by fighting the ghost.
2) If you kill the ghost but forget to collect the loot, the ghost will respawn. Same if you kill the ghost and open/close the loot bag without taking the mace. ONLY TAKING THE MACE INTO YOUR INVENTORY TRIGGERS THE JOURNAL UPDATE.
