A Rare 9.5mm cal. Peterlongo Take-Down Mauser - cased

I wonder if anyone else saw this at auction this weekend. Its the best Peterlongo I have ever seen. The 9.5 caliber is actually a .375 caliber - but not sure if its a 9.5x57, or a 9.5x60 cartridge, or ?? ... anyone with info on what this caliber might be, please chime in. And .... its on the way to join its big brother here in Wisconsin.

as always, your comments are most welcome.

Only cartridge I saw that is somewhat similar

What did the cast say on its measures ?

I wont have the rifle in hand for another 7 to 10 days so I can't measure the chamber cast, but the IAA forum discusses and shows a 9.5x60 Peterlongo cartridge. It looks like it may be a shorter version of the 11.2x72 Schuler, except in 9.5 mm caliber - which is a .375 dia. bullet. Hope it turns out to be such as I have plenty 11.2x72 Schuler brass that I can form into 9.5x60.
