I don't think it is a pre 64...
IMO in mint condition it would be worth around $600 in mint condition. Most Winchester commemoratives never gained huge value like lots of folks thought they would.
I valued rifle length as a shooter, and cranked a few thousand cast bullet loads through it. Someone once told me that they were the most numerous of all the commemoratives, but whether that is true I don't know. There sure are a lot of them.
I guess there is a lot of them. According to the Blue Book, Winchester has turned out over forty different versions of the model 94. As RobSmith says they should made a lot fewer commeratives and allowed them to become collectable and gain value.
My guess that they couldn't have cared less about collectors, and just wanted to sell rifles in any way they could. For value you may as well collect spoons. On the other hand I could stand a high grade Saskatchewan/Alberta Diamond Jubilie.
This has some numbers and info for those interested. The part about "Canadians were allowed to own guns back then" pissed me right off though.

Don't fret, at least they're not certain we all live in igloos & tipis (at least most of us, anyways) ... even still, it's nice to get the ol' dog sled out for a Sunday drive !

Commemoratives are nothing more than a regular Win 94 with embellishments. Unless it's still in the sealed box, they're not worth any more than any Win 94. Even if it is sealed in the box, you'd have to find somebody who wants it. As collector pieces they were a dismal failure.
There were 97,395 Canadian Centennials made. In rifle(26") and carbine(20") format.

The only ones that really have value above the norm are:
Alberta Jubilee
Sask Jubilee
John Wayne
Little Big Horn 44-40
Antlered game
Calgary Stampede
The rest are shooters. Good shooters, fancy, but still shooters.
Top price would be 550-650 for one in the box unfired with all the paperwork and saddle ring (if applicable).

I just bought an Alberta Jubilee in 38-55 last week, new in the box for $600. Also came with 2 boxes of commemorative Alberta Jubilee ammo.
After removing the lever safety and smoothing the action she shoots like a dream.

I have a Canadian Centennial Model 94 Rifle with Octagonal barrel that was shot and I bought as a shooter for $350 about 3 or 4 years ago. I believe it is a post 64 frame or design as it has the sheet metal cartridge carrier. I believe a cast cartridge carrier from a 70's or 80's 94 would probably fit and I am checking out the gun shows hoping one will show up. The gun shoots great and I like the looks of the 94 rifle with the long octagonal barrel, but I would like to replace the carrier, even though I have had no problems as of yet. It just looks like a cheap part that may be prone to break.
