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

Salaams~ I don't do controlled environment inspections... What I do is get the sword in front of me and bend it ... does it bend? How far? I inspect the blade ... Is it an Omani Dancing blade yes or no? Is it a rehilt? End of inspection.
