If you can live without the high luster blueing you can always decorate the stock any way you want with hardware store and scrap materials.
Here is a model 11 GL that I decided to do up in a classic style.
I chose golden oak stain for the base color.The white line spacers at the grip cap and recoil pad are made from white plastic sheet rock mud buckets cut to shape filed and sanded then sandwiched in. The ebony fore end is fake and done with ebony stain and the white line on the fore end is automotive pinstripe. The whole thing is sealed with clear Minwax spray poly. Not exactly highly figured imported walnut but for a few bucks in materials I had a lot of fun giving her that "classic" look.
