Interesting Shibriya for comments

Soo, this just came in. Its an interesting piece because while its shibriya, the craftmanship appears to be Saudi and its very good work. Am I wrong for assuming it is Saudi? Most of the Jordanian and Palestinian examples I came across had bronze or white metal fittings, this one is silver and the filigree style is almost identical to Saudi khanjar styles.

There are shibriyas made in Saudi, so it seems not too farfetched?
