I like it :) the blade seems Northern Indian with a Greek/Ottoman hilt that was added at a later date.

I dont see anything Greek/Ottoman here. The hilt looks like the imagination of an Indian maker about a Greek/Ottoman hilt ;)

My first impression was that this is fairly recent Central Asian work imitating old Indo-Persian Pesh style. Very similar daggers are made in Afganistan, Kazakstan/Uzbekistan/...stan areas nowadays, and many are "aged" to look old, some have chiselled blades, etc. Hard to tell by the pictures, but obvious when you handle and see them up close.
