See there is a dagger for sale that , could be a parts piece.As wittman said they were all gilded in gold... is this true?

If you're referring to the piece on Eban, forget it. That seller is well known for peddling modern production Kriegsmarine & Imperial Navy daggers we well as reproduction DRK officer & EM hewers in bulk. One thing he likes to sell is Alcoso KM daggers which are not correct, even for reproductions. He is also affiliated with another seller, also in Germany, who's been hawking fake Land Customs daggers are of late.

I suggest you do a check of this seller's completed auctions or of the items still visible in his feedback, note too his prices are too good for the items being sold. All positive feedbacks too which should let you know his buyers are not yet aware of their mistake in buying his wares. Ignorance, as they say, is bliss. Regarding the piece you mentioned, I would be very surprised if there are any period parts in there. Also note he's got pictures of 2 different daggers in there, a Bahnschutz 2nd model & a Railway Water Protection Police dagger although the listing implies the auction is for the latter.

Regarding your question of whether they all were gilted or not, I don't believe they were. If some were, I don't believe all were. Here is an example currently for sale:
