I have been looking for a Winchester 94 Northfield Bank Raid commemorative for many years now. I know where S/N #1 is but the bank in Northfield is not going to part with it. I am from there and I ride with the re-enactment group also. It would mean alot to me and my family if I could put one in my collection. Any help ya'll can give would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know anything about this guy. 950.00 sounds a bit steep :eek:

That is a very rare Commemorative model. Finding one will not be easy and, if/when you do, I suspect it will be pricey.

Good to see you TxGun. So, perhaps that's not too bad of a price. See if you can get some of the Northfield "Citizens" to pitch in to buy the gun T-Burg.. I would like to know more about any of the longarms used in the Raid. We know alot about the pistols, but they must have been packing some long guns or shotguns.

Thank you Chris! This is a rare gun. I need to see if I got the cash for it. $950 is lower than the last one I saw for sale. I talked to some dealers who specialize in commemoratives and since these are not in any gun value books the experts say they are worth what someone is willing to pay for one. Only 999 were produced under contract in St Paul, MN in 1976. Author R.L. Wilson has been helping our re-enactment group with researching the long guns used in the raid. I can't remember all the details at this time but as soon as I get them I'll post them. I don't want to mis-qoute the facts. Thanks again.

T-Burg,

You're welcome Sir. Hopefully that fellas keeps his website updated and he still has it. Good luck to you!
