First I'll say I'm no "expert' but, I don't know if the 9.3 x 74 was around in 1900 as it is a pretty hot round, more likely the rifle was chambered in something like the 9.3 x 72 which was quite common in hammer guns. If it is a 9.3 x 74 it would be a reasonable choice for Lion in the open rather than tight brush, the 9.3 x 72 would be, in my opinion, more than a little too light.
Perhaps someone has a proper date for the introduction of the 9.3 x 74 that will tell when it arrived on the scene.
