8mm Mauser is a cartridge. There are a whole buttload of guns that use the 8mm mauser (correct nomenclature: 7.92 mm). These vary from the very common (bolt-action: turkish mausers, K98, G98, yugoslavian mausers, et cetera) to the rarer (Maxim 08, 08/15, MG-15, MG-34, MG-42, FG-42, Vickers, et cetera). I've got 15 to 20 guns chambered in this caliber, and prices vary from $60 to $30,000+. BTW, there are at LEAST a few hundred variants of the bolt-action mauser alone. The persian contract ones are beautiful.
If you can post a pic of the gun overall and one of the top of the receiver, I can tell you what you've got.
