Yes, about 1850s-1860s.

As shown on the manga itself, they already has things like Railroads, Steam Engine, Telegraph, Steamships, Penny Farthing Bicycles, Mass Steel Production, Machined Tools, Replaceable Parts, Photographic Camera...

The Advanced Weaponry of the age were:
-Bolt-Action Breechloader Rifle
The newest Weißen Rifles. However, the rifles depicted in-manga were Mauser 1898(5 shot magazine, Smokeless Powder Brass Cartridge) rather than Dreyse M1841 (Single Shot, Black Powder Paper Cartridge) that real-life Preußen Army should use.
-Revolver Pistol
Baltzar himself have atleast 2, used when rescuing in the cellar. The Weißen Commander in the village also use one.
-Breechloader Rifled Cannon
The cannon inside the railway yard; The Cannon inside Prince Reiner secret room; Weißen Coastal Defense Cannons.
-Lever-Action Breechloader Rifle
Used by Weißen Chief of Staff when hunting boar.
-Mitrailleuse Volley Gun
The Gun that Baltzar said, the technology stolen from a certain neighboring country (In real life, France)

And the weaponry that considered old and antiquated are mostly what we see used by Baselland...
-Flintlock Musket
Baselland Standard Infantry weapon in the early part of the manga.
-Smoothbore Cannon
The Cannon used by Baselland Artillery Corps.
