Robert M thats awesome. I just finished hanging up mine. Got a really nice cherrywood display with the blue felt and i bought a raccoon skin in Cody Wyoming and had to put that up on display. Enjoy it they sure are some beautiful rifles.
That would definitely get me to buy a Dodge as my next truck. If for no other reason than to know the company that I’m giving thousands of $$ to supports the 2nd amendment.
These commemoratives are everywhere these days because they were part of Estates where the folks are now in their 70s and 80s and they're parting with them in large numbers
I have a Winchester Model 94AE. It is the 100th Year Anniversary Edition - (1894 -1994 ). It's a trapper, 16 inch barrel, and made for 44 Rem. Mag. It has never been fired. I purchased it back in 1994, I have the original box and paper work. It's a beautiful gun, but I guess it's not a commemorate issue, the stock is not stamped.
Has anyone seen a Winchester Commemorative called the "Discovery One" ? To my knowledge the only commemorative Winchester ever made to honour someone or something outside of the Americas. That being Captain Cook who discovered Australia. Rumoured to be less then 50 left in existence.
I’m in Canada and bought a used bicentennial model. It’s very used with pitting and chipped chrome. It was used hard as a bush gun. The front wood is chipped. I use it as an instructional gun for the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (prerequisites for a firearms license) with the firing pin removed. It’s sad that it’s a beautiful gun that should have been kept as a collector. Even worse is I have a family Marlin 336 from 1974 that’s in mint shape. Just goes to show when a rifle is properly taken care of it can last generations.
My Saskatchewan Diamond Jubilee was made in North Haven Connecticut USA, as stamped on the barrel. I don't see anywhere on my rifle that it was made in Canada by Cooey. I don't think Cooey made any lever actions, have only seen bolt action .22's.
My late brother, Ray, had a collectible (forget the model & caliber) my dad bought for him ca. the late '60s ( believe it or not in the PDRNJ)...had an octagon barrel, god trigger & loading gate...he got in trouble in the early/mid 70s and either pawned or sold it...
Mohammed Cohen I believe so. Mine has fancier wood. It is what is called a short rifle configuration, a short 20 inch octagonal barrel, with a rifle style nose cap (no barrel bands), gold colored loading gate and trigger, steel butt plate, scroll type receiver engravings and buckhorn sights.
Who bought these guns??...well anybody with the money but....These guns capilized on the fact that the WWII generation were getting old, had money and were becoming too old to actually use these guns. Plus they loved western stuff. It's not a 73 but it's close enough. As a general role things called collectable or any other synonyms pertaining to rarity or value is just complete BS.
The 94s made in 64-onward were made with shitty parts compared to the pre 64s. The ones made in Miroku Japan seem to be ok, the only problem is that they have a BS tang safety.
I thought it was Marlins from the late 60s and up weren’t as good? I always thought Winchesters were good, I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Japanese made ones. Some love them, what I don’t understand why did Winchester give Japan a license to make them? What about the Italians that already make them? (I’m not saying Japan makes bad products far from it, it’s just the Italians and I think there were one or two Chinese factories making Winchesters and have been for more many years.)
@@kylethedalek Marlins are different. To tell if it’s a good marlin, it has to have a JM stamp on the barrel. Any Marlin that was made before Remington got its hands on the company is good. Once Remington took over, they went to shit. When it comes to Winchester, anything post 64 is made of lesser quality. The metal is of a lower quality and does not hold the bluing. The bluing is also different and doesn’t have as fine of a finish. The newer Miroku made winchesters are OK but they have the tang safety which most people dislike.
This is an incorrect statement. They most certainly were made in New Haven Connecticut after 1964. 1983 Winchester returned to regular production methods with 100% forged steel receivers with an angle eject bolt so you could mount a scope on top.
My dad owned almost all of these at one point, unfired new in box , that had belonged to my grandfather who worked for Winchester. unfortunately they were lost in a house fire in 2011. I’m hoping to re-build the collection someday . The Legendary Lawmen was always my favorite.
So collectable that they were made in the thousands and everyone bought them in the 60s,70s and 80s. Today they arent worth much. Might as well spend the extra money and buy an original from the 1800s.
Picked one up (rifle only, as guy had already sold the musket) last year. Love the NRA commemorative model. New, un-fired with box and paperwork. Got it for $580. Not sure what they sale for now.
I know this is a old video but I would love a recommendation. I have a cherokee 30-30 unfired from my father :) should I use it? I have no interest in collecting the others and with the price of firearms at the moment its the same price to buy a used 3030 haha
Just got me the Buffalo Bills commemorative two weeks ago in pristine condition. Freaking love it.

Apache & Little Big Horn...I love them
I recently inherited a Winchester Wrangler commemorative with a 16 inch barrel,saddle ring and big loop chambered in 32 wspl. Love it.
I remember when you got 1 with a new Dodge pickup of a certain model, late '70's, early '80's I think.

"Limited production" i.e. they made tens of thousands of them
But compare that to 1M+ lol
I have one of those Cowboy Commemoratives. It was inherited, box not included. Its a nice rifle. The nickel is still nice after 53 years.
Franklin mint has an amazing variety of manufactured 'collectible' plates too.
Gloves, gloves, gloves!
🤣 I know right.
Seriously, no gloves...WTF???

I want the legendary lawman edition.
I cant find a buffalo Bill disassembly video anywhere its different than the regular 94 model
That's my problem too. rare as hen's teeth.
Thank u sir . i wanna know about pumpaction rifle not shotgun
My brother had a lawman Edition that was lost in a house fire a year ago.
I had the U.S Border Patrol carbine. So many people wanted it, and I finally sold it.
No 1985 BSA commemoration?

Show the boxes!
The Frontiersman were in 38-55, not 30-30.

The legendary Frontiersman was made in 1979 chambered in 38-55 along with the Oliver F Win.in 1980 and Chief Crazy Horse in 1983

Mohammed Cohen I believe that one would be the Classic commemorative model.
@@johndilday1846 ...his had a 'burled' stock...did the Classic have one also???

Some of these guns have features of both carbines and sporting rifles. Too bad they weren’t made pre ‘64.
It’s my understanding these commemoratives were made with very high standards. 100% forged steel receivers unlike the regular models of that time.
Missing the 76 bicentennial 🤔
Pre 64s are still the King
Man do you ship to Australia?
Yes, they're "pretty" but they were all made after 1964 ! - You know, like a Chevy Vega or a Ford Pinto or Mustang II.
Save your money for something better than these commemorative rifles.

Not all of them have the tang safety..

94 isn’t my favorite model
Somebody liked them because they are the all time selling Winchester.
Nice! I just found a Winchester model 94 Golden Spike made in 1969. Got it for the used price. But, it looks immaculate. 🪙

Uggghhh that blows.
In the 70's the commerativv 94's have very little collecter value because they made to many of them 8000 to 90,000 guns does not make them collectable
No, but they make great shooters.
I like the Alberta and Saskatchewan diamond jubilee models
6:15 The last one is a short rifle, not a carbine. Ain't it?
I have a 1894 to 1994 trapper carbine in 44 mag with the big hoop.
Nice.
What about the Oliver F Winchester commemorative???
How many of the little big horn were made in total? Does anybody know the answer? Kind regards from europe.
When are you leaving town? I'll watch your collection.
I wish that you could find those over here in Australia
So collectable that they were made in the thousands and everyone bought them in the 60s,70s and 80s. Today they arent worth much. Might as well spend the extra money and buy an original from the 1800s.
