I am still waiting patiently to see any single modern stiff bladed sword from the souks that show the age patina, quality of style, quality of detail and construction methods of swords from antiquity, one that is actually there now that you can bring forth to the table for minute examination and criticism... Thus far I am only reading conjecture and speculation.

About the sword in question, these are rather bold statements considering the sword has not been first hand examined by yourself and others in a controlled enviroment. Again, conjecture and speculation are all that your comments are based on
