Wow
Bruce that is a real beauty, your right it was worth the drive. and this looks like your lucky rifle with 7 and 11 for serial numbers.
Her are some pics of a close cousin I own in the "m" block :

Yours and the rifle in the sticky section owned by Ham are super, likely a notch up on condition. These late 98/40s in laminate have always had that 'cool factor' in my book.
The internet makes the collecting world smaller, and at one time these laminate 98/40s were very scarce indeed in my local area and still are.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. I have only L and M blocks in my limited 44 database.
Love the rifles guys!
Pisgah and you are right, it's "L" I think. I always get that wrong in spite of being corrected. It sure looks like a b

Trust me, I do as well.
Pisgah's rule of matching year/code/alpha had me changing all kinds of stuff in the meager database a couple of years ago.......

I'd defer to Simson or vaughn but the highest I have for 44 is 3166 'm'
Vaughn has a G98/40 serial number study posted over on DD's site. The latest jhv 43 in his study is 3632L and the earliest noted jhv 44 is 4878L. 3371940's latest of 3166m is the latest I see recorded anywhere. Off of the top of my head I think I may have seen one or two later, but if so, nothing later than 4-5000 range of the M block.

That one had butchered lumber. I didn't log the final auction price but not valuable considering the alterations. Any matching, unaltered, laminated 98/40 would command a premium.
I was being semi sarcastic as I bought it to go with the 3160m i already had.
