Got these from Vtgw938 to put on my 57 ND. I know my 57 is too new to have been shipped with the famous Over Sized Targets. Ask me if I care.
Cokes for my 57

It doesn't have to be period correct, if it makes you happy....
Life's too short to worry about what others think.

Double your pleasure, with cokes.
Well, it is a shape of the grip from the back view
1950s through Mid1960 era on N frames grips mainly 44 magnums I’m just giving you the minor details. I’m sure somebody will come along and get really technical.

They are extremely rare most people that have them will not sell them. You do see them occasionally on eBay if they are in really good condition, they will bring $800 for the grips alone.

Cokes were technically known as oversized target grips. aside from the mild, dual palm swells which give them the nickname, they also have a larger checkered area and a more oval profile when viewed from the bottom. Used only on the early .44 Magnums and then later on the model 57 when it was introduced.
Aside from getting very lucky on eBay, Roger's Grips & Guns may have a set, but that is where the $800 price tag comes from. Out in the wild, $450 - $600 is more common, but prices keep going up. I have purchased at least one gun just to get the Cokes that adorned it - of course it was a nice gun too, but the main impetus was the grips - which was like getting a huge discount on the gun. That was a 6" Model 27-2. Then there is the nickel Model 57 shown in this thread and my premiere set is on my 1950 HE Target .44 Special.

This was my first set of cokes and the only set I still have. I've had a half dozen more, but always part with them.
1964 27-2 (notice the double latch 6-6.5 inch box)

I need cokes . I need a pre something with cokes.. anything will do.
29 or 27 I guess.
Earliest I have are k frame non cut diamonds.
I have a 68 with diamond targets. The slighting smaller and more smoothly rounded football cuts.
But no cokes.
