Well, 7.92 is generally the marking for 8mm Mauser, aka 7.92x57.

The most common rifles chambered for that cartridge are the various Mauser-designed/made military rifles.

We're going to need all the markings that are on the gun, and very likely good, clear pictures to figure out exactly what you have.
