Image description

Jade hilted shamshir with scabbard, 1944. Manufactured by N C Daw and Company, Calcutta, India. This sword was presented to the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, by HH the Maharaja General Sir Joodha Shum Shere Jung Bahadur Rana, the hereditary Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Nepalese Army. The highly polished blade is similar to the British Pattern 1831 General Officer's sword, but the jade hilt is of the same form as that of Indian khanjars or daggers. It is probable that the hilt is much earlier in date and was mated to a modern blade.
