I agree completely with Doc44. Mid to late 50s coke presentation stocks, 2nd variety.

The earliest coke stocks 1st variety first show up in the very early 50s. Here's a pair to compare with yours. Besides the non-relief the pronounced coke bottle profile right side and flare at the butt are obvious. But also the long filler behind the trigger guard evident below. The maple was prevalent in the early years.

By the mid 50s the long filler is gone.
