Okay it's now my turn to add to this subject.

I have waited to comment because I wanted to find the source (in writing) of 
the what and why of the gold versus chrome arrows.  I am still rereading all 
the books in an attempt to identify the source.

What I remember reading was that all the bugeyes/frogeyes had gold arrows 
from the factory.  It was sometime after production of the bugeye/frogeye 
had ceased BMC exhausted it's supply of gold arrows and new arrows were 
sourced. Those 'new' arrows were chrome!  If you ordered a replacement arrow 
after '62/63 timeframe what you got was a chrome arrow in a nice BMC 
red/white/blue box.

Maybe someone should ask Ray English downunder, he may be able to answer the 
gold versus chrome debate.
