In the 1993 version of the Three Musketeers (Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen) the sword of d'Artagnon's father has a golden swirled guard around the handle.
Does anyone know where I might find a replica of this sword?

I don't know of any specific exact replicas, but the sword was simply a rapier with a gold-colored guard. There are a few brass-hilted rapiers available that are fairly similar looking. Historically, I would guess that such a gold hilt would have been iron or steel with gold plating, but brass looks the part and is more fitting with our price range. Here's a couple that have a similar look, though both are fairly low-end, particularly the second, but they give an idea of what to look for. www.swordsofhonor.com/swhirab.htmlwww.aurorahistoryboutique.com/R000095.htm |

The second one is made (I think) by Deepeeka. |
