27 No Dash 4 Screw 5" TT,TH,TS,WO,RR, **Factory Cokes**

[Memphis]

Love the gun AND the pics. You sure do have good..no, great taste in guns.
Is that the box "top" in the pic or the bottom?
Your collection, just from what I've seen here on the forum is marvelous.

Thanks for showing.

Roger

Yes that's correct. Cokes is more of a collector term than a factory term.

Might pretty Model 27. Original cokes ordered on 27. Seems plausible to me.
Really great find! Enjoy it!

Jim,
That 5" snob is really gonna irritate your flock or 3.5"ers,
Sneering all smug as it looks down its long blue nose at them like "I have fancy grips and am taller than all of you lil runts so fooiey"

I have seen this happen before and it isnt pretty...makes the 3.5"ers very depressed and angry and sometimes they cry , this can make them begin to rust in the safe...Very sad to subject those poor babies to that cruelty...

Good news is I know an exchange program where other 3.5"ers are brought into the flock with their Original presentations more befitting to an environment with its own kind....
You know the old expression, Smiths of a feather belong together ...he he he...

Jim that is a beauty and I'm on board with engine49guy. All your 3.5s are probably going to feel terrible since they just don't measure up. To ensure peace in your safe I'll take this 5"er.

Good find buddy!

Jim,
The first thing I noticed about the box was it has 5 hole corners, correct depth for target stocks. Mighty fine Model 27 as well.

Nice 27-nothing. I've got one like it, but it did not come a box. No red ramp or white outline either, and sadly, no Cokes:

 

[gunnut44]

Very nice, where did you find it?

 

[1blindref]

That's a nice one Jim. I don't blame you for adding that to your collection. Besides, those 3.5" guns need a big brother to keep them in line

 

[jjbrewst1]

Very nice, where did you find it?

I found it from a guy out of Moundridge, KS...Really good guy...I wonder if that is Near the Big Ol Gorilla's Place...

 

[jjbrewst1]

Even if it letters with target stocks it will not say Cokes just Goncalo Alves target stocks.....Correct?

Thats how I have always seen it on the Letter ...That or GA Target Grips...

I never thought about that either...Just another thing Going in the right direction..>thanks for the heads up on that...

Hey Jim....give us a range report when you get the chance. Nice 27.

 

[wetdog]

I'm thinking the st means square butt, target stocks. Also the same meaning on the later hand written end labels.

I wouldn't think that since they didn't come with square butts.

Hey Jim,

Nice find!

I know I'm late to the party, but I just needed to make you aware that that is a birth year gun for me, and I have yet to find one myself. That should give me priority in getting it over the others desiring it......... shouldn't it?

That depends on if you want dibs on my March 1960 27 No Dash 3.5 incher too

Awesome find.

My wife grew up in Moundridge, KS.

Nope, just the 5" gun. I've been told that I am compensating for some other short coming, but I am not sure what that means.
