It depends on the condition, and what accessories are available with it. Collectors value lower serial numbers, and the serial number indicated is near the end of the production run (there were 49,000 JW Commemorative's made). New in the box (no damage or wear to the box, with all accessories (leather strap, booklet, oil paper, literature, etc.) and never been fired or cycled, around $2500. Optional accessories, like the Bianchi leather scabbard, gun rack, etc., will also increase the value (they're worth about $450 each in excellent condition).
If you've got the commemorative ammo to go with it, that'll bump the value up as well. The original value of a single box was about $35.
