Touch Up Gold Inlays on Receiver

[VictoryXC]

I have a Beretta AL391 Urika Gold and the gold inlays are worn out in a few spots. I have no idea of what the gold colouring material actually is and I am curious if the worn areas can be touched up. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.

Have no idea what they use but I have had good success over the years on some remingtons with the gold inlay
Have used a Forester gold inlay kit

Product Description
Add a touch of elegance to engraved firearms

This handy kit fills engraving and lettering. In addition to highlighting custom engraving jobs, it gives production guns a personalized appearance. It’s a great way to enhance the value of either new or used guns. Easy to use – just follow the simple instructions. Although the kit is designed for gun work, it’s also ideal for other hobby areas including model railroad engines. Kit includes enough material for five to ten guns. Gold color is actually a fine bronze powder. Not intended for use on parkerized or ferritic carbonitrided surfaces.

Thanks very much. That looks like it should do the trick and they have a number of Canadian distributors which is a bonus.

I know it works well for a complete job on remingtons or touch up. Perhaps maybe best to wait a bit to see if anyone has done any work like this on a beretta and what they used. I know it was not real expensive either when I bought the last one but I got it state side and this is what a gunsmith told me to use years ago

Good idea. I will wait and see if anyone else weighs in and also Google the Forester product and see what else I can find on it. Thanks again.

Thanks VictoryXC for starting this thread and 3macs1 for responding to it. I've got another Franchi 48 on the way to me and after seeing a recent EE listing of an Auto 5 with gold accented inlay, I was thinking about accenting the engraving on this new 48 with gold inlay. This method would really change the look of a field grade 48!
