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.

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! Last edited: Jul 2, 2013

Click to expand... 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) Dave
