Default Do gold inlays hold up to hunting use?

I am ordering a CSMC Fox FE and would like to know how well gold inlaid dogs will or will not hold up on the belly of a Fox 28guage used for grouse hunting. It will have color case metal and could be engraved with or with out the gold. The sides of the receiver will have gold birds engraved and will take much less wear. I like the gold inlays but worry how long before they show use and loose their detail? How well did the gold inlays hold up on the old time guns from the golden age of SXS guns? Any input would be helpful. I added two pictures, one without gold and one with. The gun with the gold inlay has not been hunted yet. The gun with the non gold setter has field use for three seasons now. thanks all SXS Ohio
