          Your best bet is to slug the bore and take measurements. Most likely it is in the original round nose bullet. Do you have more pics of the receiver from the top?

            If it was upgraded for the Spitzer bullet it should have an "S" stamped on the top of the reciever. I suspect it has not been reworked and is still in the original caliber.

              Even "S" modified 88s can have some real potential safety issues when firing .323 8MM ammo. If the bore size checks out ok, I would certainly stick with lower powered 8MM loads.....lighter bullets + reduced powder loads= lower chamber pressure.

                  so your 88 is in 7.92 J caliber (don't shoot 8x57JS ammo with)

                  on a re-barreled one for 8x57JS ammo upu can see the S stamped on the receiver (as SCHUPO wrote)
