Hello, I wanted to know if this is in gold?  I dont think it is but just wanted to check

Thanks

If gold or silver gilt, metal fineness marks would appear, usually on large wreath ribbon ties at bottom of badge or on badge suspension lug or ribbon ring.  Same locations for maker marks.    

Lack of marks & wear to badge suggests bronze-gilt example to me.

In my opinion that this one is brass model -4th Republic

Very robust even to be silver gilded I might be wrong

 

Two examples

 

Gold  and Silver Gild

 

You can compare

 

Sorry

I agree with 992F

Lack of clear marks and in my opinion lack of good quality, suggests bronze gild.

 

Here is another example of good quality silver gild with well placed mark for silver -'boar head"
