I took a chance because they were listed as N frame. I guess I'll find out when they get here. Fingers crossed.
They could be, it's pretty hard to see the inside rear "ledge" clearly. I hope I'm wrong as they are nice looking targets.
They are Cokes and appear to still be N frame to me......99.9 % on that.
Glad you got them buddy.

You saw them.
I still don't have the "eye" for spotting cokes, probably because I don't have any. To me, they could be Cokes, Dr. Peppers or even Sprites.....
Nice purchase though.

They definitely are cokes
See that smile at the top
The huge checkered field below it.
How that field extends lower at the bottom..
Now you do.

That happened to me on Ebay, a beautiful set of diamond targets came in and close but no cigar. Fit a K frame perfectly but not an N. Sent them back and the seller was really embarrassed.
If I had it to do over again, I would have kept them. The K frame diamond targets are getting expensive as well (not like N cokes, which are in "ludicrous' territory) and they completely change the feel and look of the 1950's K frames. I really like them.
I'm finding the easiest way to buy cokes is to buy a gun with them already installed.

First set I ever bought, maybe 25 years ago, came on a 1950 Target 45 (pre-26). The older gentleman selling the gun apologized that they were not the correct stocks for the gun, which was $425. At the time I didn't know what they were. Now they've been on a 4 screw 44 Magnum for a long time.

Even more impressive is that I do too (considering my old-man credentials).
Yet even that way they are getting harder to find. Can't tell you how disappointing it is to see them changed out to mis-matched magnas or newer no diamond types on original 1950's guns for sale.
Agree, it's a downer to find an early 44 Magnum or M57 wearing something that shouldn't be there. I'm ready to find a couple of those though as I recently acquired a post war OD with cokes and a modified 28-2 with another set. Won't bother me at all to switch them to a gun on which they belong.

Glad to...
Cokes on the blued 29-2, walnut diamond Target stocks on the nickel 27. Note the size of the checkering panels.

Want to make $50 profit on them ??????
They're not correct on that non-pinned model 57 (post 1980).
You're free to do whatever you want, but they belong on a .44 or .41 Magnum made before 1966...

How much did they wind up costing you?
