No sooner had they been delivered than the artillery and cavalry weapons were sold off again during the reorganisation of the Contingent in 1847/48, notably to Denmark, with which the German Confederation was at war. Technical progress did not spare the rifles of the chasseur battalions: they were converted to the Minié system, sold shortly afterwards and replaced by needle rifles. From 1872 onwards, the corps introduced the ‘Luxembourg chasseur rifle, Remington system’.
