Winchester
First your serial number indicates that your Winchester model 62 was made in the year 1942.The model 62 was never produced by Winchester with a Nickel plated finish from the factory.These gallery guns were used through out the country at circus,s and thats where the term gallery gun comes from(shooting galleries).at some point in time a circus owner or private individual had your model 62 nickel plated.
The only gold-plated commemorative 94s I locate in a brief search of my sources were limited editions of 500 or 200 and none with a production of 300 mention gold, so I can't tell exactly which gun you have. However, most of the recent Winchester commemoratives still sell near their original issue prices, some have gone down, and a few have gone up. In order to get the book price for these guns, they must be absolutely like new and accompanied by all the original packaging and manuals. Once they have been fired, they lose most of their premium value and become a "fancy shooting iron."
