Yes, it is in the newspapers everywhere, the next thing after the Sikh body armour which some people claimed to belong to the 10th Guru. Sotheby eventually had to withdraw it from auction.

Seen much much better and as it so happens it was gifted by Shahjehan to my friend's forefather.

Can't divulge any details though. ;)
