Does such a thing exist in reality? I can't find non-M&B references to the name (so I assume it would have a different name or no "real" name at all), but it seems plausible.
Well, quite simply, this weapon refers to all kind of 'choppers' 'short glaives' or whatever you call it, that appear in large amount of pictorial sources from 13th to 16th century, but no one had really found anything that could be actual genuine example. Or at least they're not known and researched.

So they're quite a bit of mystery.

Few most famous depictions.
