They were a “special build” in 1994 built on an aluminum alloy frames. I think they are true commander length, 4.25” not 4” also. Should be a gushing barrel instead of bull barrel and have Millet sights. Springfield got “scolded” for trying to use the Commander name and ended up with this.
Nice purchase. As to what it's worth...you tell us. It's a market, and what one is willing to pay that a seller is willing to accept sets the price.

What ever you paid, to me, it was very well worth it, that is one nice gun, enjoy it.

I didn't find much detailed information on a quick internet search, but the links below give some information on it and the Egunner winning bid of $820 for one. Not sure what year the auction took place, or it's condition compared to your. According to the description, the one up for bid was based on Blue Book of Gun Values guidelines, and was 75%.

Congrats, should be a great CC weapon, never seen that model before, by just looking at the pic looks like a 4" barrel, the odd is that has a bushing usually 4" barrels are the bull type, nice gun either way.
