Are These Cokes?

[JeffD607]

I need a second (+) opinion. Do these grips look like Cokes?

 

[deputydon]

yep

 

[toroflow1]

3rd opinion: yes!

 

[TheTinMan]

Last pic confirms it.

Yes they are Cokes. Larger checking pattern, swells in the center, and to me the most obvious is the oval shape of the bottom of the stocks.

Targets on the left, Cokes on the right.

The larger checkering pattern is the key feature to look for.

But don't the diamond target grips have the larger checkering pattern but not the palm swell? I usually make my determination by a rear view of the grips looking for the palm swell AFTER I see the larger checkering pattern.

Palm swell on Non-relieved Targets from the first half of the 1950's, before cokes were introduced. Note the checkering pattern does not go below the butt. (also a key feature of cokes). This example is a little more pronounced than others.

No.
Diamond Target's on the nickel 27, Cokes on the blued 27-2.
