Strange Persian?

What an interesting and beautiful knife!

The blade lamination came up in a similar fashion to many pattern-welded Indian tulwar blades I have seen, and the decorative motifs also seem Indian to my inexpert eye.

Magnificent dagger!
This lamination pattern is quite beautiful, how are the waves or circles achieved in this example?
Would these daggers have had scabbards or were they worn bear?
Beautiful restoration as well, its owner will be very proud of it.
