model 94 Wild Bill Cody Commemorative

i just bought a model 94 Wild Bill Cody Commemorative rifle (26" heavy octagon barrel) off my father in law for a couple hundred bucks. there are some scuffs and scratches on the stock from use but other wise in good condition. can you give me a hint on what it is worth?

my books say there was a wild bill cody made in 1996 ,,and there were buffalo bill made in 68 ,,my books onlist a carbine model of the wild bill models but i would guess they proably made both rifles and carbines ,,the value listed for the carbime is around 800-1000 in used condition,,you did good,,

thanks bigcurt. sorry, it is a Buffalo Bill Cody Commemorative. i think this one was made in 1968. it is not one of the limited 300 that has the gold on it. i know that they are worth alot mnore. i have attached photos. it sure is heavy but should be fun to shoot. this is my 3rd model 94 and i think i have the bug for them now.

that sounds better ,,and you still did good on the purchase from what i see i'd estimate the value at 400-500 ,,looks like a keeper!

The â�ï¿& frac12;Buffalo Bill Deluxe Commemorative Museum Presentation RifleÃ¢ï¿½ï¿ ½ was produced in 1968, and available at that time for a minimum donation of $1000.00 to help with the building of the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum in Cody, Wyoming. There were only 300 of these museum rifles produced. These deluxe rifles differ from the standard Buffalo Bill rifles built at the same time by having a XXX fancy hand-checkered walnut stock and forearm, all nickel parts were gold plated, gold-inlayed script of â�ï¿& frac12;Buffalo Bill CommemorativeÃ¢ï¿½ï ¿½ on the barrel and â�ï¿& frac12;W.F. Cody â�ï¿& frac12; Chief of Scoutsâ�ï& iquest;½ on the upper tang, and the rifle came in a solid mahogany case. There is also a gold plated medallion of Colonel Cody and another medallion showing the rifleÃ¢ï¿½ï¿ ½s origin and serial number. If this is what you have, it has a retail value of about $3,000.00, today.

thanks gregsta, unfortinatilly this is not one for the limited 300. it does not have the gold plating.

It does not need the gold plate or gold trigger, it is still one of the 300 made.
