I spoke to a friend today and learned about a mint 45-90 levergun in India in its original case, retailed by a name that's long been forgotten, P Orr and Sons of Madras and Rangoon, which was, most certainly used on tigers considering the family who own it. When I was a boy and beginning to get interested in guns, I would go to P Orr and Sons showroom to peek through the cabinets, tolerated with some amusement by the staff there. Good hunting, everyone.

I have once here in denmark come across a 1886 Winchester with express-sights and half magazine. The caliber was .50ex(50-110WCF). I believe the man still has it. That gun had a "Madras" adress inscription on the barrel.
If today I should use a levergun for tiger-sport...a fullpower smokelessload of the 50-110 wcf would be used.
