i think there is too much variance in the color of the emblem for it to be gold plated...

funny in closeups seems there are many gray areas that aren't visible on normal viewing (like pic 1)

Strange looking indeed. It's risky, but if you really want to know, put a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of nitric acid on the end of a glass rod and touch a low spot around the swas. If it turns a dark color, particularly blue, it's not gold. May the swartz be with you!
