I'm 100% sure that Muhammad (peace be upon him) did exist.
There are many biographies about him written by historians with great accuracy along with specific dates and events which occurred during his lifetime, such as where he was born, how he died, who were his wife and children, what battles he fought with the polytheists and idol worshipers, etc. He had family members and successors who knew him and all of this is recorded in history without any contradictions. We also know the exact location of his tomb, which is in this mosque (known as the Mosque of the Prophet). And there are volumes of hadith collections, which are essentially sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) on various Islamic topics.
He owned several swords and some of them are stored safely in museums.

In that sword, the words "Muhammad Rasullullah from Saad Abu Ubadah" are written on it in Arabic.
