It was definitely a 24K DE I saw. In fact, it was sitting right next to one of the Titanium finish ones. The dealer had about 11 DE's, all in a line in the case. The 24K was noticeably different from the Titanium one.
Patton's comment about his Ivory handled revolver comes to mind. In response to a question about his pistol with pearl grips, Patton quipped that only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pistol with pearl grips.
I guess some things never change in gun culture.
