Tiger Stripe a Shotgun Stock

I have a shotgun marked Comstock Arms Co. Duluth. I know it was private labeled but who was the manufacturer? I am guessing early part of the 1900's.
It has an imitation tiger stripe. I dimly recall that his was done by dissolving nails in nitric acid, using it to paint the stripe on the stock, then neutralizing with baking soda. Is this the way to do it?
Thanks.
