Would I be right in thinking that this saif has a Persian blade with Saudi mounts?

Saudi mounts yes. But I do not think the blade is Persian. Looks to be Indian. Indian blades are probably the most common.

I was thinking the same, the blade looks Indian, the style of the inscription is Indian Islamic not Persian.
