Repros
They have a Coke pattern, but here are the reasons that I think that they are repros... 1) They appear to be walnut - most cokes were GA or Rosewood, 2) the checkering border is too light, 3) the top rear corner is too straight, and 4) the top front area that goes under/behind the trigger guard looks wrong to me...
my $0.05 (and that and a smile will get you a nickel)

... and the extractor relief cut isn't distinct enough. I agree they're reproduction.

Not originals, in my opinion.
