The Shards of Narsil were the pieces of the famous weapon of Narsil which had been broken by Elendil's fall at the end of the Second Age in the War of the Last Alliance. It was then that Isildur slew Sauron with the hilt of the Shards. Isildur later transported the Shards home with him but he was killed along the way. It was Ohtar, the squire of Isildur who took the Shards and brought them to Rivendell. The pieces were kept as heirlooms until the time came in Third Age 3019 for the shards to be reforged as Andúril.
