The Blue Book says $450 for a rifle or $425 for a carbine. The prices for commemorative firearms assumes that ALL ORIGINAL packaging and literature is included and everything is completely as-issued. The slightest scratch from cocking the hammer once, a crease in the accompanying certificate, etc. will reduce it to the value of a non-commemorative in excellent condition, which is approximately $275-$325 depending on the exact configuration.

interesting answer. i hope they didn't offer to buy them from you after an answer like that. you have consectutive serial numbers. that is rare. if you have the boxes and paperwork in good condition you should expect to get well over 1200.00 for the pair and perhaps more if the buyer is a fan of model 94 comms. quite honestly the best thing would be to store them in a good enviormentally controlled safe and let your kid benifit from them unless you get an offer far greater that what i told you. this type of firearm while made to be collectible carries the burden of its intentions. no one buys them to shoot cans or deer with, so all of them are still in mint condition and each owner secretly hopes by a freak accident the other2,3,or 5,000 of them will magically vanish and his\hers will be the one and only worth tons of money. as an investment they are alot like savings bonds, slow to mature and show a real return, but safe and will steadily rise in value however slowly. most important of all is to enjoy them, show them off to close friends and take them out and fondle and then clean them every now and then.

I was researching this myself. I found one being sold on www.gunsamerica.com for $475 New in Box. I also found an answer on oldguns.net that said it is one of about 52,000 rifles and is only worth around $400. I believe you may be underestimating the value of your rifle since Winchester ceased operations. One important aspect is that the Teddy Roosevelet rifle was made in two barrel lengths. One was a 20" carbine and the other a 24" Rifle. The rifle always brings a premium. The latest Blue Book of Gun Values lists the value at $595.

Woodrow Wilson's policy of moral diplomacy was based on the idea that creating an international consensus would result in morals being properly implemented through good will. His policy resulted in the creation of the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact.

Theodore Roosevelt's "Big Stick Policy" was based on using the US military as a backdrop to achieving US political aims. When negotiations with Gran Colombia build the Panama Canal failed, Roosevelt gave support to Panamanian Rebels and interposed the US navy to prevent Colombia from attacking them without causing a war with the United States. With Panama now independent, the Panama Canal was authorized. However, it was simply an action of brute force and does not accommodate other perspectives and viewpoints.

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was called the trust buster by some.

I remember his as a flawed character. Instead of waiting until 1916 for the presidential nomination, he decided to run against the Republican incumbent in 1912, splitting the vote and giving the election to Wilson. Next he wrecked his health by going on a poorly planned exploring trip in the Amazon jungle. He pushed his son, Quentin, into becoming a military pilot and losing his life in WW I.
