No, gold applied to Parker guns was reserved to the very highest grades and even so, it was usually by special order.
However, Dave Suponski has a SC with single gold birds on the sides and possibly one on the floor plate but I don’t know if this is documented as factory work.
Dave could answer this a bit better than I can.
