Sword of Prophet Muhammad

I'll buy the absence of markings, the decorations (or absence thereof) and anything else .

However, I am truly flabbergasted how could the curators, the writers and the editors describe it as straight and miss its obvious curvature? What a shoddy job!

The status of the "Suyuf Al-mubarakah" as quasi holy relics has prevented detailed examination of them. While most of the swords are probably what they say they are, others undoubtedly seem to belong to a later era. We had a discussion about this before on the forum a while back.
