I did find some information for you about this rifle, and yes, you're very lucky to have it. This is an article from Winchester on the commemorative rifles made:


Winchester Model 94 Commemoratives
Welcome to the exciting world of WINCHESTER® commemoratives. Whether you are an advanced collector or just learning about this aspect of firearms collecting, there is something here for you.

A little history for the newcomers. Since 1964 the Winchester Repeating Arms Company (now the United States Repeating Arms Company) has produced special, limited edition Model 94 rifles and carbines to commemorate significant events, people, places or periods in United States or Canadian history. All of these special firearms were manufactured for only one year and were produced in limited quantities and have special serial numbers not in the regular production range. Each issue is unique. All have various levels of embellishment which highlight the event or person being honored including engraving, silver, gold or pewter plating of the receiver and other parts of the gun, as well as higher grades and figure of wood in the stocks and forends. Beginning with the ’66 Centennial models in 1966, these rifles and carbines have been provided in standard production boxes, but covered with a full color printed sleeve depicting scenes of the persons / events the gun commemorates. Most of the original sleeve art has been done by noted western artist Joseph Ferrara and are almost as enjoyable to collect as the commemoratives themselves. For the guns to retain their full value to the collector, the guns must be in "New In Box" (NIB) condition, that is, they are unfired in their original boxes with all associated paperwork and accessories including the outer sleeve as they were shipped from the factory.

Winchester has had factories worldwide producing the some of the finest firearms known. One of these factories was in Cobourg, Ontario Canada. During the period 1970 through 1982, this factory also produced commemorative Model 94 rifles and carbines for the Canadian market (Canadians were allowed to own guns then). These commemoratives were produced in relatively fewer numbers than the U. S. editions and were only available in Canada. Some of these commemoratives have made it "south of the border" and comprise their own group within the collection, however, they are fairly scarce. All of the United States issues have been produced at the original New Haven, Connecticut plant.

Listed below are all of the "official" WINCHESTER® commemoratives issued; that is, those actually constructed by Winchester / USRA as commemoratives. They are grouped by United States issues and Canadian issues. Many "commemorative" Winchester Model 94 rifles and carbines have been made for various organizations by aftermarket suppliers. While many are very appealing, they are not true WINCHESTER® commemoratives as they do not have the special serial numbers as issued by the factory.

All items listed are currently available at the time of this issue, except for those listed with an asterisk (*) next to price and are new in their original boxes with all paperwork, sleeves, etc. All prices shown are good for 30 days from the date of this issue.

Our inventory is constantly changing. Items not currently in-stock are usually available by special order. Prices on special order items are subject to change pending market availability. All special orders require a minimum 50% non-refundable deposit at time of order placement.

Items identified with a double asterisk (**) are extremely rare and are usually not readily available. Prices listed for these items are for reference only and are the last prices seen for these items when they were found for sale.

As always, if there is a particular item you are interested in please call us. If it is not currently in stock or one of the more rare items, we will be happy to look for one for you.

All guns listed are identified on the Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco And Firearms list of Curios and Relics and are sold as Collectors Items only. We can ship anywhere in the U. S. to a holder of a Federal Firearms License (FFL). The cost is approximately $13.00 per gun. If you do not have an FFL, contact your local gun shop and they will usually make arrangements to receive it for you (usually for a small fee).

European Issues



Two very special commemoratives were made for sale in the European market. These were the "One of One Thousand" issues. Winchester saved all Model 94 receivers ending in three zeros for over ten years for this project. The first group of 250 were shipped to Italy in 1978 where they were fully engraved and inlaid in gold by B. C. Giovanelli. The guns were then fitted with exhibition grade french walnut and checkered at approximately 40 lines per inch. After final assembly, the guns were sold throughout Europe through specially chosen distributors. A second group of 250 were produced in similar fashion, and level of embellishment, in 1980. Very, very few of these guns have made it across the Atlantic to the U. S. and if available would be in excess of $10000 each.

Lots of ready by tells me it is worth around $1000, unless it has consecutive serial number carbine with it then the two are wworth $4000 together. They gave $545 for it originally so, that was a good investment and it looks to be in great shape...good luck

SHOOT WELL.
LOAD BETTER.
