I have couple of swords that look right for 7th century (even through they where made way later), I bet no one can prove that they never belonged to Mohammed.
The burden of proof is always on someone presenting the items and theories. Otherwise we would have Rembrandts going for 5$ per square feet.
Yes, it is quite possible that one of those guys is the original one. Again, one needs to have some facts to support such a claim, and without really knowing how these swords appeared into existance it's impossible to argue anything in support of that.
Concerning swords of David - well, taking in mind what was the history like for the past 2500, the chanse of such relic to survive is basically 0. It's not like Egypt where if you are lucky you can find a treasure cove with everything intact.
Concerning the respect that muslims would show to his pocessions - it's hard to show respect to something that in principle was never found. And this respect created much hatred and fighting for it caused the competition with jews and christians for the control over jewish and christian relics.
