keep in mind that what is new today, will be old tomorrow ...

for instance, it's considerate as antiques, and forbidden to trade with ...
- in Egypt today all objects older than 100 years (item 1 of the 1st chapter for the Law of antiquities protection) must be transfered to museum
- in Greece, the law said 180 years
- in Italie it's 50 years
I think that in Turkey it's the same (in France it's different)

the Saudi saîfs or swords available on the market, excepted for some prestigious items, aren't oldest than 110/115 years,
date of Saudi land reconquest, by Abdelazizi al Saoud, that means, the day before yesterday

I agree with you,
if I have opportunity to acquire a sword like yours at good price,
I will not hesitated to display it in my collection
and ... "Al-Hamdoulillah" if are very underrated by collectors
all the best
