Animate Guardian Bug?

hello, I am playing an Animate Guardian build. I was trying to try something out and bought a new animate guardian gem ( lvl1) . After I went back to my normal Animate Guardian I noticed that the Weapon he was using dissappered. He was using a Voidforge, which you may know is quite expensive. Is this a Bug or is this an intended Interaction?

From what I saw on the wiki, gear equipped by the Animate Guardian isn't bound to the gem used, but to the character.

Even if you swap gems, the gear should be the same between them--with the limitation that if the new gem isn't able to equip the gear, it will be disabled/not visible.
Yea the wiki also states that the equiped gear doesnt dissappear. He was testing some items on a new gem and when he got back to his old leveled gem the weapon dissappeared. I asked him if his other gear on the gem was fine and he gave an affirmative answer. Seems weird that only the Weapon is missing.

Items: The Guardian's items are tied to the character that summoned it, rather than the gem itself. The gem can freely be changed around without risking loss of the Animate Guardian's equipment. Note that the skill's gem level determines the maximum level requirement of items the Animated Guardian can equip; if the gem's level is too low for an equipped item, it will disable the item temporarily until it is high enough gem level. This does not delete the equipped item.

Voidforge requires level 67, so your gem will need to be level 14.
