Extended Information

In 1622 King Luis XIII of France established the special corp of \"The Musketeers\", with the first Count of Treville in charge of them. This corp was formed by 100 Musketeers, one cornet, one sergeant, one lieutenant and one captain. Among them, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, known as \"THE THREE MUSKETEERS\", stood out due to their exploits. Together with the brave D\'Artegnan, the three musketeers were the protectors of the Queen Anne, against the conspirations from the treasonous Cardinal Richelieu.

The Three Musketeers Rapier Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain with cup hilt is typical of the 17th century, realized after the popular tale by Alexandre Dumas \"The three musketeers\", set in that time. The narrow and pointed steel blade is fit to thrust. The cast metal hilt has the cup ornated with 24K Gold and Silver plated figures in relief. On the quillons and knuckleguard are depicted the Three Musketeers; their faces are also reproduced on the pommel. The Handgrip is wrapped by a Gold plated metal string with little fleur-de-lys applied on it. This sword is a magnificent 46 inch rapier constructed to honor these three brave men.

\"All for one and one for all!\"
Those were the great words sworn by Athos, Aramis, and Porthos in The Three Musketeers, a novel written by the French writer Alexander Dumas.

Why were they called Musketeers? They don’t use muskets!
A Musketeer was a member in the group of bodyguards who protected the French royalties in the 17th and 18th Centuries. The Musketeers (of the book, anyway, I don’t know about real life) were a military company. But were charged with protecting the king, so wouldn’t normally have to go out in the field. They did use muskets, just not very often.

Set in France during the reign of Louis XIII, The Three Musketeers is a historical romance that tells the story of a young adventurer, D\'Artagnan, whose life changed when he left his provincial hometown for Paris, and became friends with three Musketeers -- Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. Together they fought against the evil Cardinal Richelieu for justice, love, and friendship.

\"So thus they lived in France of old,
When blood was young and hearts were bold,
And sword crossed sword for honor then,
When life was life and men were men.\"
