I happened to pickup two commeraative Winchester model 94's One is the Teddy Roosevlet NIB unfired with the box. The other is Canadian commerative no box and has been fired. I plan on keeping the Teddy Roosevlet model as it is unfired in the box. The other I plan to use as a shooter. I want to preserve the box so thought about wrapping it in plastic. Any suggestions for preservation. Also the original wrapping around the firearm is still there. Looks like it was never removed from the box.

  Plastic is not a good idea. There are dozens of different types of plastic sheeting out there, & many have plasticizers that will, over time, cause damage to the box. I'd just put it somewhere that is cool & dry, and where it will not be handled or moved often.
  
  On the other hand, given the lack of collector interest in Winchester commemoratives, it probably isn't worth worrying about.

  Amberjack,
  
  If you are interested in keeping these for investments, don't! I purchased six winchesters between 1967-1968 for just that purpose. The included the TR and the Canadian Centennial. I got rid of them last year and they brought nothing in return.
  
  Do what you want with the boxes and use the Canadian for deer hunting. They aren't worth investment money. Only if you really like them should you buy one.
  
  But that is my 2 cents.
