Agree, looks like a 43 Mauser to me. Do you have any measurements on it?
 
What's the case length ? I agree with the others. It's either a .43 Mauser or a .400 Purdey.
 
Looks like a .450 #2 Musket
 
11.2x60R
Better known as 43 Mauser or 11mm Mauser.
 
Believe your right I thought the 43 Spanish had a real real lon neck.bullet dia is .440 thrim is .870 and case length ii 2.250
 
Let us know, I’m interested.
I think Remington made their rolling block for a .43 ctg?
 
The cartridge its self looks alot like the .500/.450 no1 express BPE cartridges i have other than the primer
