Bira-Maschine Gun

Hello all,

now that it is Christmas i have the time to go over my shooting library and i found an interesting article of a MG from 1896 made in Nepal. It has the .577-450 caliber and weighs around 500kilogramms( the full mag has 20kg!)
The question is, is there anybody out there who has more information about this gun? Any help will be apreciated!

Regards

Gunner
