yeah the gold inlay thing was fairly popular in the early-mid 80s too. i recall seeing a guy set up with a table at a gun show around that time that offered to do gold inlays on people's guns.
if my memory is correct he had some gold type powder that he would rub over the stampings with a rag then rub off the excess.
personally if it's factory inlay i'm fine with it but i was never a fan of adding it to other guns.
