I bought the D-Day & Iwo Jima commemorative garands awhile back, listening to a dealer, telling me they'd go up in value. They don't seem to on GunBroker/GunsAmerica. Comments?
Actually with the cast aftermarket receivers they are worth much less (to me anyway) than a "real" field grade Garand with a hammer forged reciever.they are worth no more than any other shooter grade rifle

Garand collectors are interested in the real thing, variants of the real thing, and very rare variants of the real thing.
I think I mean "Hammer Forged".Agreed, and I think you mean drop forged
suspect the people who would have bought a a D-Day or Iwo Jima Garand commemorative are the Veterans who were there, or their families, as a gift to the veteran. The population of WWII veterans is vanishing before our eyes.
