All grades, B and above had gold grip caps on the pistol grip, and straight stocked guns had gold, oval shaped shields. The few that I've seen with POW grips had a cap of gold on the ball of the grip. I've seen some large shields shaped like the state highway sign too.
I was told that the grip caps were 18K. Can't say I've ever heard what the shields were. Even back then, I suspect they were gold filled (thicker layer of gold than gold plated), not solid.
