Welcome to the forum Larry!
Marlin started the gold colored triggers when they first put the word "golden" on the barrel, then dropped the golden trigger for awhile starting in the late 70's if I recall correctly, then went back to the golden trigger again. I don't recall the exact year range, but I do know that yours fall within it.
Gismo is right, RFC is a great place for Marlin info.
