1903 Mauser type 45 siamese contract

[billy67]

Hi,
I first post in the Japanese section but I beleive this thread belong in here since its a Mauser rifle..

I just acquired this nice Japanese Type 45 Mauser Siamese contract and I am not sure what is the appropriate ammo fit to it ? I read this rifle was originally chambered in 8x50r and later re chambered in 8x52r. How I can know ? The guy who sold the rifle to never fired it and told me its a 8mm.
Any inputs is welcome. Thanks
