I came across the following site www.mughalarts.com/antiques/01/index.html which strangely enough offers to sell a Dagger and a Sword related to the Badshah. Unfortunately when contacted no response was received and the site also has a virus by the name of redlof so if you have not got a virus checker do not open this site. The site shows a dagger which is " This was given to his daughter Gul Badeen Bagum. The dagger is 214 years old. Its ivory grip design consists of birds carved on it with rubies in there eyes and also has emeralds at some places. The grip of the dagger also has Surah-e-Ikhlas written on it. The blade work is also very fancy the with figures of different animals and birds "
The various pictures above show the dagger from its various angles. I have no idea about the authenticity or the whereabouts of this dagger, but as I came across it on the Internet I thought it may be useful to show it here. The other item for sale on this site is a sword which " This was given to the king of Bahawalpur State by Bahadur Shah Zafar. The sword has Mughal art work on it in 24k gold. This sword is more than 200 year old. "
