Salam Sheikh Dom,

Thanks for the opinion; i have seen many low quality syrian nejdi style swords, they generally have flimsy blunt blades. The saudi ones are of great quality but are very underrated by collectors simply because they are new, they generally come with blunt blades since they are used for traditional dancing, this one is razor sharp though. This one has new fitting and saudi halalas (coins) that are typical to modern repros but of all the ones I seen online and in person, I never saw one with a stamped blade (modern ones that is) so this one could possibly have an old blade rehilted recently (coins dating to 1353 hijri)

The stamp looks like an imitation clauberg knight and that is common in old arabian manufactured blades. I have also been told that such swords were at somepoint rehilted in mass.

I may try to get this one off my friend since even if its new, its still a quality piece with real deal silver. The bad news is that am broke
