My guess would be 11x60 Mauser.. It is also know as the 43 Mauser.

Agree, looks like a 43 Mauser to me. Do you have any measurements on it?

 

[Hunter-Habib]

What's the case length ? I agree with the others. It's either a .43 Mauser or a .400 Purdey.

 

[ducmarc]

Going to measure it today

 

[Dewald]

Looks like a .450 #2 Musket

Better known as 43 Mauser or 11mm Mauser.
