Help documenting 19th century firearms

Saginaw · 03-30-2013, 12:21 PM

First of all, I'd like to thank the moderators for accepting me into this forum.

I'm doing some personal research on the firearms that were used by the nations of the 19th century, particularly the smaller European and Asian nations and South America from around 1845 to 1900. I'm not wanting anything detailed, such as specific particulars concerning the firearm, but just what was generally used by a nation's army, and when. For example, what would have been the rifle used by the army of the Grand Duchy of Baden, circa 1845, and so on?

Thank you.
