About in 1970 I purchased a Golden Spike Cent. 30 30. I got it used.
It came in a wood box that was worked over like it was very aged and it had hunks of lead in it like it had been shot.
Like a fool, I sold the gun and case after a couple of years.
I have never seen a case like that again and I have asked several gun collectors over the years if anyone else had, and the answer was always a no.

Has anyone here seen anything like that. I would like to know some history about it and if someone knew, what kind of price would be on such an item now. If I can find out I will know how hard to kick myself for selling it.

Lars, welcome to G&G! I don't have any experience with your particular gun so I'm not much help. I do have friends who've owned commerative Win. rifles and most are worth a min. of $1000.00 if in NRA excellent\unfired cond., yours' may be worth a bit more or less depending on options\condition.
