...I hate you and I'm jealous.
I have a friend in Iraq who ran across a minty Martini-Henry. Due to army rules it had to be destroyed. The heathens, destroying history like that...

I would suggest that Danish equipment is far more likely than British. As far as I know, Siam was until very recently a Danish possession, so the equipment is likely Danish.. or Dutch/Iberian/Italian.

Thanks a LOT.
I'll try and put that into some useful format and clean things up a bit. I'm likely to get rid of the strangeness of my assortment of weapons a bit since Siam was a Dutch colony/protectorate in WW, but this gives me some working numbers from which to start building an army.
I had some discussions with Swampy regarding that. Let me see what I can dig up.Quoted
OK... for my air force. That's a mess. Swampy listed the WW names and classifications for everything, so I'm still picking my way through the boards trying to locate stats, armaments, etc. That'll be a project for my next week off from clinical.
