The blade is of the Safavid royal work shop with the royal lion seal, has nothing to do with Assadullah, his name could be on the other side but still. It is a nice piece non the less.
If I remember correctly, the only Prince Ahmad Shah I can think of was the son of Zaher Shah, which would have been very young to not being born yet in 1932.

Salaams AJ1356 ~ (Both paragraphs below refer to wikipedia pages on the subject Prince Ahmad Sah Khan and Saudia Arabia)

1.The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud (known for most of his career as Ibn Saud) in 1932. The sword must have been presented later...

2. Ahmad Shah, Crown Prince of Afghanistan (born 23 September 1934) is the second son of Mohammed Zahir Shah, the former King of Afghanistan, and the heir apparent to the throne of Afghanistan. Thus certainly after 1934 at least !!
