Looks more like T.tenuigranosa to me. The denticles in the aperture of your
shell are more consistent with with tenuigranosa than bardeyi. I collected
a specimen a little over 200 mm in the Philippines. It had a large flaring
lip like your specimen with pretty much the same structure.
All the best,
