Gold, definitely. How about fixing this question as to what type of "brass" There is Yellow brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc and the more common red brass 85% copper and 15% Zinc then there is Muntz metal and Bronze thus BRASS = COPPER as there is NO gold content in "Brass"
Gold has the greatest mass among brass, gold, iron, and lead.
Brass mimics gold in appearance due to its yellowish color and luster.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, giving it a more yellow appearance with slight red tones. Gold, on the other hand, is a precious metal with a distinct bright yellow color and is much softer compared to brass. One way to differentiate them is through a magnet, as brass is not magnetic but gold is not magnetic.

Only the "light" Twenty" had a gold trigger. My 1964 Belgium Browning Light Twenty has a gold trigger.
it is not gold, it could be gold plated or brass
Yes, if it is brass
1. Gold is denser than brass: weigh the object, and determine its volume (e.g. by measuring the displacement when it is sunk into water in a graduated cylinder). Calculate the density. Gold will come out near 19.4 grams/cubic centimetre; brass near 8.6 g/cm3. 2. Rub against the unglazed ceramic object, real gold leave gold streak brass plated will leave brass streak.
