In the Official Records Series 1, Vol. 30, Pt. 2, P 616, there is a letter from a Confederate ordnance officer in Abingdon, Virginia, Jno. J. Rodgers to Brig. Gen. John W. Frazer. In the short letter, Rodgers says "We have the rifles (Belgian) of different calibers, .69, .71, and .75; not in very good condition, though would do."
What Belgian rifle would have been .75 caliber? All that I have looked at were about .71 caliber.
(Frazer replied requesting 200 Belgian rifles caliber .71.)
Thanks and Happy New Year!
