Here are photos of my Gold Column. I was going to restore it, but it was destroyed in a fire in June. I think I still have a NOS BSA rear derailleur with shifter and some other parts.

Sorry to hear you lost it in a fire!
Any idea what year your example was?
The original poster thinks his is '49ish; '49 models have a rear flip-flop, large flange aluminium hub, fixed and freewheel I think, but possibly could be double fixed.
Anyway, here's how it appeared in the 1949 catalogue.....
I think I've nearly got enough images to make recreating the decals possible. The tricky one is the large one on the seat post which has a gold column trophy surrounded by a BSA ribbon, with laurel wreaths top and bottom. A similar image was used in some of the advertising material.
Mine has the double fixed/freewheel hub which seems to be in good shape.
Thanks for photos Fat Tire Trader - sorry for your loss... If you still have parts you're willing to sell, I'd certainly be interested.
It really is a lovely bike - I'm more a car man, but saw the bike outside a junk shop in Louth and fell in love... I'm learning as I go.
