That is a standard WW I production NS Mauser C96 in 7,63x25. It may have been reblued as well (Maybe after WW I.); Serial # tells it all.
The Cartridge could be a 9mm Export (M1908) or 9x25, or it could be a 9x23 Bergman (LARGO) or a 9x23 Steyr (M1911).. Obviously picked up concurrently with the Pistol, but not connected to it.
The "8,15 Mauser Pistol" cartridge is so rare, it is not even worth considering ( Known examples are Presentation Pieces for King of Egypt, and some custom made Commercial Carbines)
BTW, "8,15" is a commercial calibre designation, not a Military one ( barrel Bore would be 7,9mm).
