1969 Golden Spike Winchester ’94 & Colt Scout Matched Set Very Good Condition
Description: May 10th, 1869 was an important date in the history of the United States. On that day the Transcontinental Railroad was completed by the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railroads, and the Eastern and Western portions of the United States were finally connected. People could now travel from either side of the country to the other with ease. For the event, a special golden spike was created to be the “last” spike driven into rails. The Golden Spike was inscribed with the words: “Last Spike [on head] May God continue the unity of our Country, as this Railroad unites the two great Oceans of the world. Presented by David Hewes San Francisco. The Pacific Railroad ground broken Jany. 8th 1863, and completed May 8th 1869. Directors of the C.P.R.R. of Cal. Hon. Leland Stanford. C.P. Huntington. E.B. Crocker. Mark Hopkins. A.P. Stanford. E.H. Miller Jr. Officers Hon. Leland Stanford, Presdt. C.P. Huntington Vice Presdt. E.B. Crocker. Atty. Mark Hopkins Tresr. Chas. Crocker. Gen. Supdt E.H. Miller Jr. Secty S.S. Montague Chief Eng’r.” The event included two trains, each representing the Union Pacific and Central Pacific respectively. The two locomotives involved were the Union Pacific’s No. 119 and the Central Pacific’s Jupiter. Both were 4-4-0s (4 unpowered leading wheels, 4 drivers, and no trailing wheels on the locomotive itself) and were of typical design for their era. As is often the case, time and the march of progress resulted in much change. Other rail lines were built, and engines grew bigger to haul heavier loads faster to match a growing population size. The original locomotives were scrapped, and the original rail lines fell into disrepair. Eventually it become uneconomical to serve the few remaining customers near the original line and it was abandoned. America’s eventual entrance into World War 2 and the pressing need for steel sealed the old line’s fate, and the original rails were pulled up to feed the war effort. Fortunately, today the Golden Spike Railroad exists, which features replicas of the No. 119 and Jupiter and a 15-mile stretch of the original Transcontinental Railroad. The site is located in a remote valley on the north end of the Great Salt Lake. In 1969, on the 100th Year Anniversary of the Golden Spike ceremony, both Colt and Winchester teamed to produce a set of firearms to commemorate the event. The set included a Model ’94 lever action rifle and a Colt Scout single-action revolver. The former was chambered in the classic .30-30 Winchester while the small Scout was chambered in its usual .22 Long Rifle. Both rifle and pistol featured special finishes and engravings. The Winchester rifle had a blued barrel and a yellow gold finished receiver. The left hand side was engraved with the years 1869 and 1969, with the shape of a railroad spike engraved between them. A special medallion featuring the two famous locomotives was inletted to the stock. The barrel length was the usual 20.0 inches. The Scout featured a gold and black magic finish. Sadly, the grips were made of plastic. Barrel length was 6.0 inches. The pistol came with an elaborately engraved wooden box and a small Golden Spike engraved with “1869 – Golden Spike – 1969”. There was also a small booklet giving the history of the Golden Spike Ceremony and the back history behind it. In each set, both firearms had, in theory, matching serial numbers. The two letters “G” and “S” (for Golden Spike) were included as part of the serial number. The slight difference was that the Winchester had the two letters as a prefix while the Colt had them as a suffix. Shown here is matching set # 5217. Both firearms exhibit some wear, though this mainly applies to the rifle. The receiver exhibits micro pitting “dots” on the surface as do the barrel bands. The bluing is in excellent shape with only a couple of spots of rust present. The wood stock features a three moderate dents and two small nicks on the right hand side. There is a small ding on the underside of the forearm. The bore is of course in superb shape. The Scout exhibits some light micro rust on the hammer and cylinder. The barrel itself has a couple of very small of wear marks on the bottom. Otherwise, the finish is in very good shape. The bore is in perfectly good shape. The cylinder face is very clean with little to nothing in the way of powder burns. The Winchester does not come with its original box, but the Colt does include the engraved wooden box, golden spike, and booklet. The $1,495.00 price represents a partial discount for purchasing the two guns together – they are, after all, a matching set. Both firearms will have to be shipped separately to comply with federal law. The shipping price for the set is a flat $100.00 fee.
