Are these Coke Bottle Grips
I picked up a 1917 brazilian gun today and these were on it. I believe they are Coke Bottle but am not 100% sure. I have never had a set before. Any help would be appreciated. They are on my Model 28 in the pictures.

Those are some of the prettiest COKES I've seen in a long time. The "feel" of them is unmistakeable.

I think they should go to a collector named Bliss!! That is if the owner ever wants to part with them.  
Those are really exquisite. Congratulations!

Maybe.....28s are going up on value. Even if it is a renickel, it'd probably go for 500 or so...and there's something cool about a 28 with Cokes!

In that condition I'd say $325 would be a fair price for buyer and seller (educated guess).

jetto66, Coke grips routinely bring $400 or so on the open market, depending on condition.

Very fair for the buyer, not so much for the seller.
Can you guys imagine finding a set of stocks like that on a Brazilian 1917. Good Grief! Those stocks are worth more than the gun. (smile)
