Kidnapping whom or what?Can you clarify?

And did I understand you correctly that you know 10 genuine swords of Assadulla? Can you be more specific?

Ariel, you are quite good when you are on your marks:-))))). But you are right that it seems like postulates.

Jens,
Thanks for the compliments, but this time around mine were just dumb or dumbfounded questions.

BTW, the Rivkin/Isaak book on Eastern Sword advances an interesting hypothesis re. the origin of the Persian lion mark: old Mamluk symbol. I will have to re-read it couple more times to figure out whether there are any logical or factual holes I have missed. So far, I could not find anything glaring, no matter how contrary it may sound to everything we think we know.

I love historical sleuthing!
