Extremely difficult to answer with a comprehensive answer, musketeers were not specific to one nation or one army, and were on the fields of battle from the early 14th to the latter 18th centuries. Musketeer is more of a MOS than the romantic Dumasian ideal. A musketeer was a precursor to the modern infantry rifleman, and musketeers served in nearly every army of the nations of China, the Ottoman Empire, India, Spain, Russia, France, Sweden, Britain, and Poland. While their primary weapon was a musket, many did carry swords, daggers, and other edged weapons.
Some of the swords carried by musketeers would have been:
- rapiers
- sabers
- broad swords
- short swords
- long swords
- falchions
- scimitars
- Dao sabers
- shamsheers
- tachi
- kilij
- khanda
- tulwaar
- firangi
- estoc
- spada da lato
- yataghan
Sword smithing being a very broad craft and art form, a nearly infinite variety of bladed weapons could have been carried by the musketeers of the various nations, and swords would have been only a few of them. Consider the limitless variety of knives, daggers, axes, and pole arms these troops would have carried.
