Hello
I've been wanting to get my Enfield defarbed, and I've been wanting to get it defarbed to resemble why my ancestor carried in the 77th NY Infantry. So far in the research that I've done, I've only been able to find that they were issued "Enfields" in 1861 when the regiment was formed. My ancestor who enlisted in February 1862 and by the time the regiment was involved at Fredericksburg, it is recorded that all companies were still armed with Enfields. My question is- does anyone know, or can point me in the right direction, which specific importer/manufacturer, etc. would have outfitted the New York regiments?
Thanks for any help!
