Willy, Your M1908 Commerical was originally issued with 2 unnumbered wood bottom mags in cadnium (turns yellow as it oxidizes) plated tubes. I have several commerically numbered (numbered on the lower edge, which is correct for this model) locking bolts,so if you wish to tell me the last 2 digits of your serial number, perhaps we can match it up. Since many of these commerical did surivive in 98% condition, there's not a large market for one in less than 95% condition, but if it were matching, with exc bore and checkered wood grips and 2 orig unnumbered wood bottom mags, I'd estimate its retail value around $600. If parts not pitted, I'd offer $450 for it, with the extra mags, just for parts.
