The Iron Mask
|
The Iron Mask is a 1962 French-Italian movie directed by Henri Decoin and is based on the 1850 novel The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas. King Louis XIV's twin brother was held on a Mediterranean island for many years and was only brought to Paris now that the king had fallen ill so that he could be swapped with his brother if necessary. But he manages to escape and is now wanted as an enemy of the state. Fortunately, he has the support of the aging D'Artagnan, who has won many a battle in the past.
The following weapons were used in the film The Iron Mask:
Pistols
Queen Anne Flintlock Pistol
What appears to be a Queen Anne Flintlock Pistol is briefly seen carried by one of one guard on Île Sainte-Marguerite island. A same-looking pistol is also wielded by Henri (Jean-François Poron).
Percussion Cap Pistol
Anachronistic Percussion Cap Pistols are used by men of the cardinal de Mazarin (Enrico Maria Salerno).
Chatellerault Mle. 1822
One of the cardinal's men appears to be armed with an anachronistic Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1822.
Muskets
Wheellock Musket
French musketeers of Maulévrier (Clément Thierry) and D'Artagnan (Jean Marais) are seen with Wheellock Muskets before the Battle of the Dunes on June 14, 1658 against the Spanish Army.
