In a strict sense, the term “musketeers” refer to the early modern type infantry of the European regions, whose distinguishing feature is their muskets, an old type of gun, which is where they got their name from. But the reason why the Classical Musketeer Rapier is so popular among the other types of rapiers is because of the literature behind them.
The Three Musketeers is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas, père. The story revolved around a man named d’Artagnan, a young man on his way to become a musketeer, who was eventually helped by the three musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis, three close friends who stand by the saying “all for one and one for all.” Most of their exploits concerned a lot of chivalry and sword fighting, which is why the rapier of the musketeer became popular.
At 46-inches in length, this authentic classic musketeer rapier is a high quality ambidextrous kind. Experienced wielders can enjoy an effective mix of both the cup-hilt and swept-hilt styles with this 3 lbs. rapier model.
