I picked up this modified and re-nickeled .44 HE 3rd Model (Wolf & Klar, 1927) for a decent price a few years ago at a local gun show. It was wearing modern magna stocks when I bought it, so I asked Pat Grashorn to fabricate a set of elk stag stocks. Pat always does a great job with stocks, but they just looked a little too white and new for this almost 100-year old revolver. Pat had a couple of suggestions for "aging" the stocks, but mentioned that the methods didn't last very long. I have aged some knife scales in the past using dyes, so I thought that I'd try the same method with these elk stag stocks. Here's the result, and I think they turned out nicely. This was a combination of dabbing on RIT Yellow dye (1:1 with hot water) to get a golden base color, followed by some Fiebing's Pro Walnut dye. Hand buffed, then Ren Wax was applied. Now the stocks look like they've been with the .44 HE for a long time. BTW- I aged those Bowie knife scales with dye some time back, but the Cattaraugus hunting knife has been handed down in my family for 120+ years and it wears its original pinned stag scales.
