The gold might be a coating of cosmoline Frank, maybe try some acetone or paint thinner and see if it disappears. The plum color is from a salt bath that needs either more heat or more solution when bluing. Like receivers in 94 Winchesters and a few M1 trigger mechs that have turned purple, it's just the steel composition and the bluing solution that cause this. No increase in value I'm afraid...

Thanks Jim...I'll give it shot. I wasn't looking for more money i was wondering if there not worth anything because of the Color. Thank You Jim for Replying and helping. I was hoping someone would. Thanks
