Colt Frontier Scout "Golden Spike 1869-1969", .22 cal. single action revolver. Serial #6262GS, mfg. 1969 only. Unfired in presentation case. Celebrating the 100th anniversity of the joining of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad on May 10, 1860 at Promontory Point, Utah with a golden spike. They said it couldn't be done, but despite hellish weather, Indian attacks and labor problems it happened and this nice Colt "K" Frontier Scout was created in 1969 to commemorate the event. Beautiful little gun with black "Magic" Colt finish on the barrel and frame then gold plating on the cylinder, ejector rod, cylinder pin, hammer, trigger, ejector top and Colt gold monogrammed textured walnut grips. 6" barrel with fixed sights. The slightest cylinder ring, so either has been cocked or this was done at the factory. Very unique! Nicely housed in a plastic presentation box with "1869 Golden Spike 1969" and portraits of the two railroad owners and the two train engines on the top lid. Drawing of the May 10, 1869 event in the inner lid. Revolver rests in a green crushed velvet interior along with a golden spike with the dates on it (see photo). Also included is a historical booklet created just for the Colt commemorative which tells the story of the mating of the two railroad lines spanning our vast continent. Wow! Quite a wonderful little gun and presentation. C&R OK. Gunrunner West item.
