The armament of the Federal Contingent

Thematic guided tour for the exhibition "Luxemburger Bundeskontingent"

Hardly delivered, the artillery and cavalry weapons are sold again in the course of the reorganisation of the contingent in 1847/48 - to Denmark, of all places, against which the German Confederation is at war. Technical progress did not stop at the rifles of the Chasseurs battalions: they were converted to the Minié system, sold a little later and replaced by firing needle rifles. From 1872, the corps introduces the ‘Luxembourg Hunting Rifle System Remington’.
