Well, what sellers price Commemoratives at aren't what they sell for. If they sell at all.
The same rifle is on the EE right now with box for $720. While the non gold receiver versions sell for $600-$700.
Although pretty, remember that they are also post 64...
I would shoot it, because I live my life. I don't squander it worrying about dollars and cents.

I was just watching Klondike Trappers yesterday and one of the Trappers had a Commemorative RCMP 94 over his shoulder while deep in the bush.

After going threw ever post I found it in the last place I looked lol. Very tempting to pick one up, Even if its used and has afew scratches it would still look great. I may wait to find a 45-70 tho, no need for 2 of pretty much the same gun sitting around.... Having multiple surplus guns is why I own this now. It looks much better then my SKS :p
 
Cmon man! Search function helps!

I think starting up a lever gun collection in light of recent events isn't such a bad idea...
 
Yeah I love the idea of semi autos, but honestly, the 5 round limit just frustrates me and gives me blue balls.

I love manually operated actions.

My safes are chalk full of pumps and milsurp bolts. Now I want to start loading up on levers.
 
I recently took a closer looked, Checked bolt face, hammer, and even the back of firing pin for contact, cant find any sign of use. Very temping to shoot it.
 
I am no expert on these 94 comms but I have heard that they are only collectible if they are NIB meaning still NEW - not fired, not handled, not cycled... Nothing.

I think that some of these comms are a bit cheesy, yours looks very nice, and would certainly be a classy piece to use in the bush.

If I had it I would shoot it and deer hunt with it, or be tempted to sell it and find a nice pre 64.
 
Shoot it if you like. The commemorative 94's are only collectible with original box and hang tags/ manuals. Whether unfired or not makes little difference to value once they are gone in my experience. Or sell it and buy a minty pre 64. It will appreciate in value more than the commemorative.

That's true, if you don't have the box anymore, and you're unsure if it's unfired, it loses a lot of its collectability appeal. May as well take her out and blast away.
