Greetings, All. I am trying to identify the type of Enfield that would have been issued to my ancestor's regiment, the 127th Illinois Vol. Infantry. The regimental history says that they were issued "English Enfields" when they were mustered in, in the Fall of 1862, in Chicago. This is confirmed in Coates' and Thomas' Civil War Small Arms (I trust that is a reliable source?). I have questions, however: (1) Is it possible to know from official records exactly which Enfield type the regiment would have been issued? (2) If not, how would I know if this was a two-band or three-band Enfield, or any one of the other Enfield types? (3) Can manufacturers be identified from the official records? And finally, (4) would this have been the only weapon issued or might the regiment have been issued Springfields or something else later? I would appreciate any insight y'all can provide.
