Winchester '94 Commemoratives
I've always favoured the commemoratives with blued or nickel finish receivers & small parts. Like the Cowboy above.
To me, I only own them as "shooters" - no interest in 'collecting' them. And prefer them to be in .30-30 Win.
Personally, I can't stand the gawdy gold finished ones.
In addition to the Cowboy, I have a Legendary Lawmen [which is a trapper length - 16" barrel - SRC].
I also had a Bat Masterson which has the 20" barrel but it was just too pretty to shoot - the stock checkering was like a cheeze grater, too!

Yeah it is a great gun and like the few have posted on here it is harder to find for the most part.
I like the simple look and also the nickel plating on the gun it has flash but it is simple.
I am looking to have it as a collectors piece and add it to the Win Commemoratives I have started to collect.
For a shooter I would use a pre 64 model 94 .30-30 since it is built so strong and also one that is very reliable

Yeah that is fair depending on the actual gun. I have saw a few gun actions certain Win Commemoratives go well above the 1400.00 mark (John Wayne ...LTD Edition Commemoratives with the matching wooden case..etc)
For the most part they are in the 800 and below for the larger volume editions.

Up or down a bit from $800 at gun shows for most models...usually under $500 at auctions that I've been to.

I wouldn't pay over 500 for one . They have no purpose . Like a ###y blow up doll
They actually do have a 'purpose' - as a 'shooter'. Certainly by no means a "pre '64 '94" but, at the right price, I'd take a commemorative [which does not have the later post '64 cross bolt safety] over a post '64 with the cross bolt safety in it.
The Cowboy I have is actually a nice shooter. I only paid 'shooter' price for it [something well under $500].
Personally, I'd never 'collect' them. And no gawdy gold ones would grace my gun rack....lol....
Just my .02
