Origin of this Jambiya

Hi Everyone,
I have had this knife for a long time but have never known its origin. It is a very plain knife but beautifully made. I think the blade is Wootz and may be Persian due to it`s waisting in from the hilt, shape and perfectly defined central rib. The horn handle also has, in my opinion. some prsian features such as the radiusing of the top and bottom horizontal sections of the hilt with the vertical grip and yet the small drilled tang extension is an Indian and Afghan feature.

I would be most grateful for your opinions.
Regards. Miguel
