Colt .22 NRA 125 year Com.
I just seen a Colt .22 Automatic S/S that is 1 of 535, 125 year NRA Com. with a 41/2" and 6" barrels. Does any body know what it is Worth? It has a few Scuff marks on the 41/2 barrel but the 6" is perfect. It comes with the Blue case and 2 mags..

I see that this is your first posting; welcome to our forum.
The gun you saw is a "special edition", not a "commemorative". The difference is, a "special edition" is a special order of a current gun ordered by a person, organization, or distributor, while a "commemorative" is a gun catalogued by the manufacturer & available to dealers through normal distribution channels. Special editions usually sell for the same, or slightly more, than the "plain" version of the gun. Commemoratives sell for, well, whatever the market price is; Colts do better than most others over the long run.
In all cases, the value of both types of guns is based on New, In the Box, with all original packaging, no scuffs or handling marks. So, the gun you saw is worth about the same as a nearly new "plain" Colt .22, with something additional for the extra barrel. To find out what that is, browse the completed auctions on this, or other, online auction sites.
