Good observation and I was tempted to say so too, but was unsure if it was solid gold or mere plating. Didn't expect too much gold on 800 silver. Be that as it may, it is a very nice knife!

Yes, of course it's a plating but a thick plating I guess. At least the ones in a similar style I've handled had a rather thick plating and not only a thin gold washing.

Thank you so much. It’s been a long time, searching without knowing exactly what to search for, and it’s not easy to find someone here in the states that even specializes in antique arms. So.., thank you again.
