[QUOTE="cvixx, post: 2546187, member: 51421"] Having had several of these, it is my opinion that Winchester went way overboard on these. Seemed to be the commemorative of the month. Like Franklin Mint, or postage stamps, too many made and only those in 100% condition are worth anything extra. Collectors look for perfection. Has the lever been operated to open the action? Any scratches on the metal or wood? Every imperfection counts. Now, in rebuttal, they do have engraving, fancy wood, octagon barrels, etc. So if I wanted a fancy 94, it might be something to take into consideration, but not at collector prices. I sold mine in the mid-80s. Two guys with thick brogues were interested and paid top dollar, in cash. I often wondered if they were shipped to Eire, and used by the IRA. [/QUOTE]
