New to this furum and would like to know how the quality is on the commemoratives?
Planing to get a "Little Big Horn" in .44-40 as a CAS shooter.
Are they goldplated or brass? If gold, does the plating come of?
Thank you for looking.

No they are not brass, yes they are plated, and yes they will scratch and wear off very easily. They were not made to be a shooter. Why don't you get a 44-40 non commemorative ??

Thank you "SOSARMS" As i suspected then.
This 94 is relativly cheap and available, unlike the 73 i was to late for.
The market here in Sweden is not that big and there are mostly .30-30 for sale.
Does the commemoratives have reliable issues that the non commemoratives don't have?

Not necessarily specific issues, rather they are primarily made to look at rather than shoot so they may use residual parts from previous runs, not be finished as well inside, etc. It's more of a crap shoot on getting a good shooter than with one that was built to shoot.

Thank you Steve, guess i have to rely think this over then.
I have not shot the "LBH" not even seen it in person, it's located at a dealer miles away.

I'll keep looking for some thing that i realy want instead, and can use for Cowboy shooting.
