Jinhao gold?

Does any one know whether Jinhao x159 fountain pens have actual gold trim, or is it some other gold-like metal?

Can't speak to the 159, but I just bought an 82, and the 'gold' metal components will attract a magnet.  So they are steel plated with something that looks like gold.

 

Many 'gold' kit pens are actually plated in titanium nitride, which is a ceramic that is gold in color.

Thanks for your answers. I had not heard of titanium nitride, it certainly is a good imitation.
