I hope, I don't understand you wrong, but swords and all other weapons are an integral part of culture.
A real Assadollah-Blade with a later added Tulwar hilt is clearly a Persian sword in my eyes.
I think there is a kind of border, where the meaning of such term becomes blurred.
Have a nice weekend
