Saudi Saif for comment

after my decade in saudi as an expat, i kicked myself for not buying a saif while i was there. waxing nostalgic perusing an auction catalogue and noted a saif hiding amongst the crockery and old books. quite low estimated price range. so, i figured i'd put in a lowish bid. looks flashy & probably plastic grip scales, but i can hang it under my favourite photo of a falconer that an Aramco VP gave me, as a remembrance from his office wall when i admired it, sword is likely not decent steel from what i gather here. comments welcome tho, with thanks.

first the falconer, with his faithful .303, then the saif. no info on dimensions yet, i'll have them ship it to me. hopefully here in a week or so.
