All the gold heart embellishments are factory, according to the PGCA letter as well as the ebony and ivory inlays on the forend. The beavertail on the 34" barrels has no inlays or gold plating. The gold plated trigger guard, the gold balls, the big A on the trigger plate, and gold forend treatments are not mentioned on the order. I should install gold balls on my next project gun. I guess gold balls are somewhat of a status symbol in these days of political correctness and sexual equality. Charlie, you would be surprised at how well the gold balls assist with sighting. Sorry about the butt pad that covered the beautiful Ken Hurst buttplate in Dave's pictures. I guess we were shooting the old girl that day.
