First of all, congratulations on this extremely nice saif. Your observations on the flower motives are accurate and supported by both Elgood and Hales. Both authors state that while these swords were used in Southern Yemen, many of them and especially the nicer ones were made in Hyderabad. Have you tried bringing out the pattern on the blade?
