swords of Mohammed, but what about...

Spear of Destiny I think is in Nuremberg.

I don't know the history of Mohammed's swords but every single religious artefact I've ever seen has one of the following sotries:

"Spear of Destiny"

The artefact was "discovered", usually by a saint or important warlord through having it's location revealed to him/her in a dream.

"Staff of Moses"

Once, the discoverer of the artefact was visited by a stranger (usually an old man), who claimed to be the last of the bloodline of the guardians of the ..., which was given to his great-grand-grand-father by ... himself. Now he transfers the ownership of the item to the "discoverer".

The latter ones sometimes mixes with the first one, by asserting that great-grand-grand was the saint from the story number one.

Now Mohammed lived relatively close to us (in time), so _one_ of these swords can be the real one. The rest mostly likely appeared all around the Ottoman Empire.

P.S. Did they do Y-chromosome genetics on Saeds ?
