Found reference to a Borchardt in "38 Express" caliber at a RIA auction a few years ago. Anyone know what this round is or compares to?

It's the Winchester 38-90 which was originally chambered in the 1885 single shot. Ned Roberts thought very highly of it as a black bear cartridge.

My factory letter (1885 Sporting Rifle) states only 330 chambered in the caliber. Barrel marked “38 Exp”. Light bullet with large powder charge. In the class with 40/90, 45/120 and 50/140. All brought out by Winchester in the last days before smokeless.
