I am surprised that I didn't get any love on my last post.

Length of case = 1.41
Cal = .43
neck of case = .457
base of case just above the rim = .475
rim thickness is .073
rim diameter is .535

Case length 1.305 in (33.1 mm

Bullet diameter .427 in (10.8 mm)
Neck diameter .443 in (11.3 mm)
Shoulder diameter.458 in (11.6 mm)
Base diameter .471 in (12.0 mm)
Rim thickness .065 in (1.7 mm)
Rim diameter .525 in (13.3 mm)

I looked into the .444 and european rimmed .470 base cases but came across the .44-40 as the best fit.
The Belgians could always find a market for a gun. I had a H. Peiper combo marked 38-55 which casted as a 9.3x57R360, obviously for the American market. (yes a .378 will swage into a .363 if there is enough room in the neck)
There are pistol caliber cartridges in combo guns
The only number that is really off is the case length/neck diameter. Could be that way to take care of the lack of a throat and to reduce pressure.

It could also be some esoteric european chambering but the numbers seem too close to the vintage of the gun.

Cheers,

Tom
