My experience has been that most commemoratives are worth less than the same gun without the commemorative plating or engraving. Case in point ...... about four years ago at a NWTF sporting clays shoot I was persuaded to buy a $20 raffle ticket on a NIB NWTF Commemorative Remington 1911 .45 ACP. Lo and behold, I won the thing. I had a .45 already, and didn't need another. I took it to my local gunshop to get an offer on it. They didn't even want it, at any price. They said commemoratives are too hard to sell, at anywhere near a normal price for the gun.
I eventually got lucky and found a buyer, but it was eye opening for me.
