Oops. I mis-read the Q.
Mausers were first made in Germany around 1880's.
Answer : Look for identifying markings , especially on the top of the action .
It may indicate caliber , factory markings , dates or country of origin .
Clean excess dirt with a wipie to read markings , do not go further than that .
Answer
I own a Spanish Mauser. I don't know how to ID it but it looks almost identical to the standard rifle issued to the Germans in WW2, except for two things. (A) There is a wood stock in front of the rear sight. (B) There is an extension under the barrel for a bayonet that has a ring in the hilt and requires the bayonet to be installed away from the bottom of the barrel.

Many military rifles were rechambered to other calibers, so I would urge you to have a gunsmith check your rifle before shooting ANYTHING. The standard Italian military rifle is in caliber 6.5mm Carcano. There are many 6.5mm cartridges, but only one is 6.5 Carcano. It may be called 6.5 Italian, or 6.5x 52.
Who fought on D-Day the Army or Marines?

How do you know if a penny is a shell case penny?
Shell case pennies are almost identical to regular pennies but contain less zinc. The only two ways to identify the shell case penny and first is to weight them in reference to a normal penny which will be a little lighter because of the higher zinc content. They will also have a much browner tone not reddish. There is no real difference in value just interesting.
If you're referring to the British L7 GPMG, it fires the NATO standard 7.62x51 cartridge. As for the class of machine guns in general, it tends to be in the same vicinity - the first true General Purpose Machine Gun utilised the 7.92x57 cartridge, while the rimmed 7.62x54R is standard for Soviet/Russian client states.
