Congrats on a very nice piece Mr. Carter, once the antique bug bites it doesn't seem to let go.
I havent seen one before. All the Nejdi saifs that ive handled have either had a wedge, or a hollow ground cross section, no katana design. This one has an absolute katan design, with the shinogi, shinogi-ji, kissaki, and mune.

Oh yeah, and I think, that that bit me I have my eyes on a couple of Ottoman sabers already...
