Strange Indo persian dagger info needed.

both handle and blade are of substantial age, so could be original or of same period. The handle had some sort of attachment in the past, so this made me think it was lost and blade added later.. just a guess. I've seen at least one Ottoman blade with 4 ridges, and it was quite old, around 17 century, so they are known. I think others may have more suggestions. Its an interesting dagger
