Kar98 Intel and Ammo Query

[nifkinsbridge]

Hi all,

I have a Kar98 that I was hoping you fine gentlemen could give me more background on.

I'm also hoping you can confirm the ammunition type. I think it's 8x57?

Here's what is stamped on the rifle.

LH side of receiver: Kar98

Breech: Erfurt 1917 w/ Crown above text

Barrel: Imperial Eagle and text BO/39 or BQ/39. I think it's BO.

Pics are here:
