Canadian Centennial Rifle

I have recently purchased a 1867 to 1967 Canadian 100 year Centennial Rifle. It was purchased new in 1968 by my father-in law who shot it 3 times in 1968 and put it up. It is a 30-30 caliber lever action with golden engraved 100 years Centennial celebration on it brand new, no marks or scratches. I was wondering how much is it worth?


Thanks in advance Charles L. Dameron

  Hello Charles...
  
  Unfortunately, it is not nearly as collectable as it once was (shooting a Commemorative Model 94 is highly frowned upon by those who collect them). As it stands now, it is not much different than a brand new basic Model 94. You would doing real well if you can get $350 for it.

  Drywall,
  
  I just traded mine. I had it in great condition, never fired, the only owner, and bought it new expecting it to increase in price. That was a bad idea.
  
  Mine traded for $410 - even trade for a new Savage 10FP. You can expect to get about $350-$425 for it - or to put it another way, the price of a new one right now. Since yours was fired, expect low end.

  Once you have fired one of these Commem's you might as well keep it and use it as a shooter...you will almost always have the prettiest rifle at deer camp.

  I see you're in North Carolina. I hope that wasn't your father-in-law's estate auction in Summerville, SC this past weekend--or more specifically, I hope if you bought one of the Canandian Centennial Winchester 94's that you wanted it for sentimental reasons only. They were going for around $700! Chalk another one up to the craziness of auctions. (The prices quoted above are the "more reasonable" approximations of value for your rifle.)

  It is unfornunate, but Winchester overwhelmed the Commerative market by issuing a firearm for every event known to man.By doing so, none are really very special.
