Default Mongol Ild?

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.)

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

Reproduced for theatrics based on a vivid imagination

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)?

A Parang Nubar, is what Indonesian/ Malay? What is it's influence?

Allot the curved Asian swords seem to have their influence the middle east? Didn't the Chinese Dao gain influence from India?

I remember this replica of a Mongol calvary saber:

Original indigenous name of the parang nabur is "beladah belabang".
The beladah belabang is no dayak weapon but has Malay origine, and was found in southeast Borneo, Banjarmasin area.
Because there was a lot of trade going on there, they also are found once in a while in other areas.

Yep !

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

I guess they got around ...

The Pup jumped off it the other day, a 12 foot drop; she came up running .
Seems there was a Squirrel ...
