Hi guys, I have a Macnaughton falling block rook rifle in this caliber and having a real hard time finding out info regarding the cartridge ,anyone have anything on this ?

Here's a link to municion.org. Scroll down, there is a picture of a cartridge with a head stamp of ELEY·LONDON ·450 · Nº1 ·.

In the http://old.municion.org/ there is a rifle cartridge .450 Nº 1 Rifle "ELEY LONDON 450 Nº1".

Here's a bit from Hoyem's "History and Development of Small Arms Ammunition" vol 3:



Both boxes are Eley produced.

And a page from the 1925 eley/Kynoch/ICI ammo catalog with the 450 No.1 Rifle entry:
