Nader Shah's Sword

Nader Shah's Sword (Persian: شمشیر نادرشاه) refers to the sword carried by Iranian ruler Nader Shah (r. 1736–1747).

[1] Under Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834), some fifty years or more later, it was inscribed and embellished.

[1] The modern historian Michael Axworthy notes that "Nader used the imagery of the sword to describe himself on a number of occasions".

There is, however, a mural in the Marble Room of the Golestan Palace which shows Mohammad Shah Qajar, the successor to Fath-Ali Shah, wearing the sword while on horseback.
