The front plate scripts were gold and the cowl side Johnson and Javelin scripts were chrome. The cowl side “35” script was gold. I believe the gold scripts had a gold colored coating but not actual gold.
Not sure if the Javelin front emblems were exactly the same as the other 57 and 58 Johnson emblems.
Haven’t looked at it a long time but my files had a link to a Golden Javelin website that had some good information.

If you can’t find the original front oval medallions, North York Marine has the substitute decals that look good.
