Diggin the Columbia
holes in head tube for badge, wrong badge.Without pulling the crank to check for date Im gonna guess re-pop on the parts...
...but just in case, does anyone know if the re-pop phantoms have locking forks and this type of sprocket? And reflector-less pedals?

The Columbia is a Firebolt. Heres some pictures of mine. Its missing the ft fender and the tank/headlight.
Pedals look repoppy... Columbia...Must have one someday!! ~Adam

Actually, I'm pretty sure original Phantoms had Persons Supreme style pedals with 'AS' end caps.. The bow pedals started in 54 w/the new deluxe middleweights like the Corvette, and had screws holding the rubber blocks to the cage. ~Adam
Don't know how much you've figured out about your Phantom but here's a couple things I know:
Those pedals are later pieces, can't say from exactly when but I've come across a couple sets like that which do not have the center hole in the side. They aren't original to either a real Phantom or a 95 reissue. As you have noted, the originals got the type with the heavy Schwinn Deluxe pedal blocks.
That crank gear is precisely the type I bought, new in bag, last year as a reissue part to put on our '53 being restored. The rust on yours does look consistent with 10-15 years outside.
The real giveaway on its origin, in my book is the tank: the new tanks, if painted or stenciled by Schwinn, do not have the thin black stripe going forward past the horn button. Look at a good picture of an original and you'll see that the indent in the tank is painted in a black stripe all the way to the front edge, right through the center of the tank. The late tanks are "painted" with a black applique that is not 100% accurate to the original tanks.
As for the head badge, it seems consistent with what I've seen on the current generation of bikes.
What is the serial number? The 95 re-issues were all numbered 0001 to 5000.
And as for the Columbia, I have one of that style chainguard. It's like an aqua color.
