Quduri discusses a sword decorated with silver. The composite object contains two legally distinguishable elements: the sword itself and its silver ornamentation, sold for one overall amount.
If the price is silver dirhams, the ornament-for-dirham element is a sarf exchange of silver for silver, while the non-silver sword component is an ordinary sale. Their possession requirements should not be conflated.
