... And Vikram has big hands to boot (for those who are trying to judge the size in relation to the palms pictured)!

At first sight this looks like a .404 Jeffery (10.75x73) but its rimmed...looks like a .500/.465 Nitro or a .500/.450 NItro, but I could be wrong

I can't say for sure, either, however, since everyone is taking a guess, I will try .577/.500 NE. I can't quite judge the size of Vikram's hand, but the rim seems so large!

.505 Gibbs

.505 Gibbs is rimless. So that one is definitely out. From its shape I'd say .450/.400 3", but in Vikram's hand it looks bigger.

Very pleased to see that I got you all excited.

Let's just say it's,the artillery shell, sightly bigger.

Could be .470

and here is my Thesis Doc..

The .470 Nitro Express is a cartridge developed in England

The .470 NE was originally designed as a replacement for the .450 Nitro Express

The .470 NE continues to be popular and is the most popular of all the Nitro Express
Nitro Express

Raja of Surguja maybe owned such rifle ( Dr. Salim Ali - one of India's most renowned ornithologist said, "In 1953 I was doing some field work in Madhya Pradesh, I met the Maharaja of Surguja. He was an old man with palsy and braced his rifle on a stick. 'i'm very happy today,' he told me. 'Why?' I asked. 'Because today I have shot my 1,100th tiger!' He ended up with 1,157".)(Sic)
