I've lost count on how many times this quest has been reported as bugged but isn't really bugged (In that you need to have your sword unequipped to actually get the Druss version), but this is about something else. When you get to Petar (ObjectiveID: 4), you are given the choice to destroy the Assassin's blade and doing so actually shatters the blade:

"The blade shatters with an inhuman screech..."

Now, to "shatter" means to "break or cause to break suddenly and violently into pieces". So, why is the Assassin's blade STILL in my inventory after this happens?

I did try a fix, seems to do the job:
