Thanks for all the advice and help, much appreciated! Please find herewith attached a photo of the barrel markings. Can you confirm from this that the rifle is in fact a Model 88 with rifling dimensions .318" made to shoot the smaller diameter bullet?

I have no Idea whether it is military, commercial or a conversion rifle. I also dont know what the "NORM" stands for. It is part of the rifle marking and serial number. On the side of the barrel it reads as follows: "8x57 NORM 116837 MAUSERWERKE AG OBENDORF"?

I have recently inherited an 8x57 NORM Obendorf Mauser serial no. 116837. Can someone help with the following: 1) When was this rifle manufactured? 2) Can I fire an 8x57 JS round with the rifle?
