What is #10?

The 'deviation' on rochefort and a murder weapon used is MOST fascinating, and refers to a GLASS bladed sword

FYI: cher Amice is used in the French speaking parts of Europe also as a sign of respect, but indeed it means literary dear friend

my apologies for the confussion caused! I was referring to the conversation with Marc on another topic:

and as for # 10 , I went of topic but #10 is one of my favorite Trappists and by the Rochefort brand which I drink drafted ( when in the city of Liege, Place de l'Opera , close to my hometown) which I frequently do visit.

My apologies again but being a beer sommelier I couldn't resist having a soft spot for Belgium, where most members from Belgium do understand my hint ..☺☼☺

Back on topic: Rochefort is also mentioned by Alexandre Dumas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comte_de_Rochefort

a nice website on their arms:

by the way d’Artagnan was a musketeer who really did exist and got killed trying to capture my hometown (and most likely got buried there as well) :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charle...e_d%27Artagnan

but nevertheless even as an enemy, he got honored by 2 statues:
one at the actual spot he got fatally wounded and the second showing him in full musketeer glory ( although he was on old man of 62, comming back from being retired at that time of death...)
