Musketeers of the Guard

"All For One...One For All!”

Alexander Dumas’ tale of a young man from Gascony, D’Artagnan, who journeys to Paris to join the King’s Musketeers of the Guard is a historical novel that incorporates many real figures and events of the period.

He soon meets three actual Musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis and the four then, together, embark on a series of adventures that have been told and retold, time and time again in both films and television.

At K&C we are including these (and more famous figures from the book and movies) in our "Pike & Musket” series because the historical time period (1625) is relatively close to the era of "The Thirty Years” War (1618-1648) and, of course, "The English Civil War” (1642-1651). The uniforms, weapons and costumes of civilians and the military alike of that time changed very little and all of our figures and accessories are compatible...and realistically authentic.
