Exactly! Most of the commemorative guns remain in the box unused or rarely used. No one really collects guns made as "collector's items" anyway. Most are too gaudy to boot. I sold a few Colt WWI commemoratives for less than a standard Gov't Model to a gunsmith that made IPSC-type guns out of them.
A new in blue box P&R 4in Model 19 from the same era would probably fetch just as much , if not more than that Ranger.
