I think the point is that these are former military pistols and most of us tend to leave them as we find them.
I have a couple parked Ports and they are kinda ugly compared to originals.-
Nickle and other finishes are postwar mods, and while garish and not very practical are nicer looking than parkerizing.
I'll never run aother combat patrol, so chrome is no issue on a relic pistol.
To each his own, indeed.
