Are Parker Reproduction triggers gold plated?

If we are talking about the Olin/Reagent Chemical guns the DHE & BHE reproductions that I have owned & seen did not have gold plated triggers.
The few A-1 Special reproductions that I have seen did have gold plated triggers.
Some special order guns were produced so I suppose anything is possible.

Every DHE Parker Repro that I've seen initially have had some type of brass plating applied to the trigger(s) that didn't hold up well, most eventually turn silver colored. Every A-1 Special Repro that I've seen the trigger(s) have been gold plated. I'm not sure about the BHE's, but they appear to have been gold plated, too.

My DHE 28 ga Repro has brassy, as opposed to gold, finished triggers, as Wild Skies says above.

I have 3 of the DHEs in different gauges. All have silver colored triggers.

Thanks for the response. Mine had a gold color which was probably a colored wash from the sound of responses here. This was a point of discussion with a fellow repro owner yesterday. No matter now, as I converted mine to double (silver colored) triggers.
Happy Holidays, all!

I don't know that all DHE Repros started with some type of brass-like coloring on the triggers which then faded. Could be . . . the case colors certainly fade! But I can think of at least one other subtle difference in the guns: Some have the "Parker Reproduction" in a cartouche on the rib; on others, it's on the barrel. So I wouldn't rule out the possibility that some triggers started out silver, others gold-ish.

Repro with the inscription on its rib, or have you?

28ga . . . I'm not sure. Repros in general with the cartouche on the rib: definitely.
Looking at a bunch of Repros on gunsinternational, it would appear that the only ones with the cartouche on the rib are the 12's. At least I did not see any 20's or 28's so marked.
