Can someone point me to a good reference on these, either on-line or elsewhere?

TIA

Tom,

Try "The British Soldier's Firearm, From Smoothbore to Smallbore 1850 - 1864" by Dr. C.H. Roads.

This book is out there, but expensive!

Will try the interlibrary loan route.

Thanks again for the tip!

You might contact Tim Prince at College Hill Arsenal. Tim deals in a lot of imported CW arms and is a wealth of information. He is, however, a full time dealer so if he doesn't have time to directly answer your questions I'm sure he can recommend places for you to look for the information you are seeking.
