Well, if you are sure, why would we try to dissuade you? Please continue to believe.

On my end, I know that Assadulla was famous for his sophisticated wootz pattern, of which there is not a trace here; that there are hundreds of blades bearing his name and dated as late as 19th century; and that all blades attributed to the real Assadulla bear extremely elegant inscription, which is not the case here.

You believe it is a real Assadulla, I believe it is a very late imitation. Each one keeps his own opinion. Sounds good?
