I think those stocks could be from the teens?? I do not see many gold medallion walnut round-butt service stocks from that era, but have a couple sets. If you enhance the OPs second image, you can see what looks like a gold medallion, but maybe the flash from the camera changed the medallion color some. Pictures below are, first - from the OPs picture; second, from a set of walnuts that DWFAN restored for me; and the third adding a set with larger checkering and lost medallions. The only difference is that the top of the stocks are rounded on the OPs, looking like later ones, but the large gold looking medallion throws me off???? Maybe some improved images could help.
