Troll them around a gun show.............check on FTH or AA to see if they are even selling..........or check out one of the gun price guides at a book store.......bottom line is.......they are only worth what someone is willling to pay.:coffee:

I saw a used Nevada Scout a while back for $250 but when I encounter the commemorative models new/unfired in the box, they typically only go for $400-500 in my neck of the woods. I actually find that strange because well used regular-run models typically go for that much.

From what I've seen the various commemorative pistols and esp the
Winchester 94s don't bring much over what a good condition version of
the original gun would bring. The inlaid medal in the stock and stuff
doesn't seem to generate a lot of interest.

I'm no expert, but just from looking at a lot of gun shows over the years.
