Mongol Ild?

Queequeg · 22nd July 2010, 11:20 PM

I saw this sword in "The Deadliest Warrior" and took an instant liking to it. I'd never heard of an "ild" before, and google doesn't come back with much, unfortunately.

It's a one or two-handed short saber, about 30"-34". The blade has a nice curve and comes to something of a hatchet point.

Sorry I can't find a better picture than this, but does anyone know more about this kind of saber?

(I'd seriously consider a purchasing a reproduction of some kind if I could find one.)

Similar blade, no ?

Kinda looks like the $178 ones from E###.

Reproduced for theatrics based on a vivid imagination

Queequeg,

The sword pictured is a Parang Nabur.

My God... I have got to get one of those someday.

I found more pictures in google. Is this a picture of yours from a previous owner (Sirupate)?

That's got to be Rick's picture--I recognize his deck.

Yep !
'Twas the Season then .

These types have also been listed as Barbary Pirate swords in at least one museum; Spain, I think .

I guess they got around ...
