Was Jamieson's .25/20 a lever action? Any more information?

Just says .25/20 Winchester in the very interesting on its own right, letter (found in the butt of one of his rifles). I'm assuming a Model 92 CARBINE, not a long (heavy) rifle version.

The .25-20 would be a very handy small game gun or self defense rifle. High mag capacity, light ammo so you could carry a lot of it on safari and on the person if need be. Sort of the "AR15 Carbine" of its day.

It's a pip-squeak round by most standards tho it was used to take the famous James Jordan Buck whch held the record for many years.

Bell carried a Mauser C96 in 9mm Export caliber.

This is the Mauser broomhandle pistol? Probably with the wooden holster/butt stock?

Mentioned in a book when he had aggressive Karamojan warriors killing around in camp, where he shot "7" zebras running past with the Mauser pistol as a demonstration of his capabilities.

Yes, correct. The shoulder stocked job. The 9mm Export was a long-case 9mm round. A darn good general purpose round, really, and in a compact, stowable C96, really a great tool for the job Bell intended. Small game and self defense.

Wiki has a good writeup:
