| WinchesterModel 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 thenewcomers. Since 1964 the Winchester Repeating Arms Company (now the UnitedStates Repeating Arms Company) has produced special, limited edition Model94 rifles and carbines to commemorate significant events, people, placesor periods in United States or Canadian history. All of these special firearmswere manufactured for only one year and were produced in limited quantitiesand have special serial numbers not in the regular production range. Eachissue is unique. All have various levels of embellishment which highlightthe event or person being honored including engraving, silver, gold orpewter plating of the receiver and other parts of the gun, as well as highergrades and figure of wood in the stocks and forends. Beginning with the’66 Centennial models in 1966, these rifles and carbines have been providedin standard production boxes, but covered with a full color printed sleevedepicting scenes of the persons / events the gun commemorates. Most ofthe original sleeve art has been done by noted western artist Joseph Ferraraand are almost as enjoyable to collect as the commemoratives themselves.For the guns to retain their full value to the collector, the guns mustbe in 'New In Box' (NIB) condition, that is, they are unfired in theiroriginal boxes with all associated paperwork and accessories includingthe outer sleeve as they were shipped from the factory. Winchester has had factoriesworldwide producing the some of the finest firearms known. One of thesefactories was in Cobourg, Ontario Canada. During the period 1970 through1982, this factory also produced commemorative Model 94 rifles and carbinesfor the Canadian market (Canadians were allowed to own guns then). Thesecommemoratives were produced in relatively fewer numbers than the U. S.editions and were only available in Canada. Some of these commemorativeshave made it 'south of the border' and comprise their own group withinthe collection, however, they are fairly scarce. All of the United Statesissues have been produced at the original New Haven, Connecticut plant. Listed below are all ofthe 'official' WINCHESTER®commemorativesissued; 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 organizationsby aftermarket suppliers. While many are very appealing, they are not trueWINCHESTER® commemoratives as they do nothave the special serial numbers as issued by the factory.

Two very special commemoratives were madefor sale in the European market. These were the 'One of One Thousand' issues.Winchester saved all Model 94 receivers ending in three zeros for overten years for this project. The first group of 250 were shipped to Italyin 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 checkeredat approximately 40 lines per inch. After final assembly, the guns weresold throughout Europe through specially chosen distributors. A secondgroup of 250 were produced in similar fashion, and level of embellishment,in 1980. Very, very few of these guns have made it across the Atlanticto the U. S. and if available would be in excess of $10000 each.OtherItems of Interest
As noted before, all of the WINCHESTER®commemorativeshave special serial numbers as compared to standard production Model 94rifles and carbines. Collectors recognize the lower serial numbers (single, two or three digit serial numbers) as more desirable and thus commanda premium price. All of the prices listed above are for the 'standard'range of serial numbers for each model. We have some lower serial numbersavailable for some models at slight premiums. Please call for informationon the availability and pricing for these items.At the current time, we have a small numberof the stock medallions, as well as replacement sleeves, boxes and paperworkfor many of the U. S. and Canadian commemoratives.
