You're right! I forgot to look at the cursive script by the oil hole. The Golden Boy just has "Crafted By Daisy", and the Golden Spike has "Replica Centennial Rifle Crafted by Daisy". I put a picture of the two back in my earlier post, showing the difference in receiver color.

Think we have just confirmed a "puzzle" that few know about.
Some time ago I had a discussion with BAKERS AIRGUNS about a GOLDEN SPIKE they had listed. I asked how it differed from the golden boy and was told "There is no difference". Then I asked how they knew they had a Golden Spike and never got an answer. I guess they were correct (????) only difference is the "script"

Does anyone care to share pictures and what models they are of their 1894s? We could make something of a visual record here in the forum. If anyone want to send their pictures to me, I'll happily do the legwork of posting them. Or maybe a good question is, does anyone else think this is worth doing? ;)

GREAT IDEA !!!!
One gun at a time? Or, groups, or Collections? If you do groups, I would suggest no more than 2 at a time. Marv

Marv, hope you are gonna' be O.K.
The flat finish looks similar to a Sears version of the 880 I have. I bet it was reserved for their branded guns. |

So Marv, I think I agree that singles or small groups is the best way to go. I also think we should start another thread with the pictures. Maybe other users will use it as a repository over time.

I can take pics but no good at "posting" them.
Why don't you start a new thread and post a few singles.. that could give an idea as to how we can contribute. |
