Waoww ! Lovely piece, congratulations !!
afghan origin seems correct for the blade, is it made of wootz ?

Really not sure the silver mounts and hilt were made in Afghanistan,.

Any stamps or mark on the scabbard or hilt ?

The ornaments on the handle and on the scabbard are typically North Indian (today it is Northern Pakistan). The dagger is probably a custom order of the rich Afghan person executed in North India...
