Well I have seen shields with things like fire magic +1(20%) so technically yes there are other ways to get the +1.
The only ways I know of getting a attribute bonus are:
1) runes,
2) armor,
3) shield/weapon mod,
4) a temporary boost from statues of gods(in factions anyway)
5) Certain spells/skills/glyphs that grant an attribute boost.
So to more directly answer your question, no there is not a way to have a permanant 16 in swordsmanship with out the helm.
