The receiver would have either been silvered first and then gold gilded or coppered and then gold gilded. This one was copper first. Where the gold is missing, the copper shows through and it appears to be gold. Upon close examination you can see that a fair amount of gold is gone. A nice patina shows from the copper. Gun looks great! Most of these where well used and have rounded corners, but not this one! The corners are sharp and crisp. Excellent gun. Complete with Factory Letter of Authenticity.
