If it is a ww2 mauser, the maker & the date made will be stamped on the top of the breech. it will look something like this bnz 43 for a mauser made in 1943 by maker bnz The caliber is 7.92 mm or sometimes referred to as 8mm mauser model 98 means it was made in 1898 and it shoots a 7.9mm or 8mm round i have one with the serial number 4101 also known as Gew 98
For which nation? There were different countries with different rifles. US- 1903 or 1903A3 rifle, and the 1917 rifle Britain- SMLE Germany- 8mm Mauser 98 Russia- 91/30 Mosin-Nagant
The Germans used 7.92x57mm or 8mm for rifles and machineguns, for submachineguns and pistols it was 9mm (9x19mm), some submachineguns were chambered for a 9mm long round or 9x25mm. For the MP44 it was 7.92x33mm or 8mm Kurz.
The rifle was not as deadly as the machine gun or artillery, but it WAS deadly. By WW 1, rifles included the German 8mm Mauser, the British .303 caliber SMLE, and the American 30-06 caliber 1903 Springfield. All were high powered repeating rifles, accurate to several hundred meters.
no they used mg42 which fires an 8mm cartridge which is similar to the american 30/06 cartridge......

7.92x57mm, better known as 8mm Mauser. Same caliber as the German military's Mausers.
"No, 7.92 is German military caliber for WW 2 and earlier Mauser rifles." Actually, 7.92x57 is the same thing as the 8MM Mauser, if that's what the person was asking.
It would be very expensive, but, it is possible.
No- the 7x57 was developed separately, in 1892 by Paul Mauser. The 8mm Mauser (actually the 7.92 Mauser, but every calls it the 8mm) was developed by a government board.
$175 to $800 depending on condition and matching parts.
The GEW 98 Mauser, in 8mm caliber. See link below.
Numerous commercial and custom makers have made 8mm Mauser rifles in the last 100 years
I just gave $63.00 for one the other day.
Minor collector's interest- .50 to 1.50, depending on condition. There are some supplies of Nazi marked 8mm Mauser still turning up for sale.
What about it?
