Just back from a collaborative restoration by Steve Bertram & Aaron Little:

















26" barrels, 14 1/2' LOP, weighs 9lbs 3oz s
Sold to Capt. R.B. Brassey of 17th Lancers on 13May1905 between his service in the Boor War and then posting to India.

Reregulated and ribs relaid by Aaron Little. Rejoint, pick up barrel engraving, polish, and "London" reblack by Steve Bertram.
My load is 60.0 grains of Reloader 19, Fed 215 primer, and Woodleigh 310 grain bullets for a period correct ~2010'/sec.
Bertram offers proper head stamp brass and common 9.3x74R brass is easily formed to make fine usable brass.
