Even it sound informative, the information is not correct.
I'm sorry to bring it but many facts mentioned here are far from reality.
What Marc is saying is not true. They never do golplating prior to enameling the award. It's not logical and phisically just not possible. Do you have any idea what happens to goldplating when you place the enamel? The tempreture is over 800 C. It's always other way around. You can see the partial golplating under the enamel, only if there are scratches in the enamel and during goldplating some of that can get under the enamel.
