FWIW:
Brophy/"The Krag Rifle", (page 152) - "The 8mm Danish Cartridge was changed in 1908 to an improved pointed bullet and improved powder.
The 'Safety Catch' was introduced in 1910.
Brophy (page 154): "1. Rifle - There are four different types of barrel (A-D) ...."
Per Brophy on barrel markings, (page 156): OP's barrel is B-style barrel marked with - (script) "B" / three sided box indicates - "sharp edges of grooves" / 'crown' is proof mark.

I am sure there is some good data for Danish 8X58R, BUT, it is evident there is a lot of bad excessive pressure data on the internet!
