Found 27 no dash coke grips took it home

[Art Doc]

markeb- Some say not as rare as I think but took me 20 years to find one. Never a catalog item they were made a few at a time, once in a while at the whim of somebody at S&W..

I'm sure Doc44 could tell us for sure since the stocks we call Coke bottles were mostly launched on the pre 29. I believe that the non relieved targets were being fazed out in 55 and the pre 29 was offered in 56. I don't believe there ever was a non relieved Coke bottle type stock offered.

This is for you non believers. I repaired this set last year.


It's the set on the right.

They look like the grips that are on it and there in very nice shape . Its 6.5 barrel .

It looks like Christmas came early based on the fact that you nearly stole that gun at that price.

I will get a photo up how much should I ask if I wanted to sell. I put my 4inch P/R 629 up for sale the gun is very clean fired very little real nice football print grips , in ex cond fact Smith box not original to gun had alot of hits on it but guys wanted the shipping sleeve with it and they wanted me to feeler gauge the cyl gap and so forth I mean come on you dont see these guns everyday anymore . If I had all that stuff the price would have been 400 more than my 1175 shipped for my 629 . if this 27 is what I say how much is it good for ???????????

This gun shop doesnt seem to give big money when people trade and sometimes I think they get from relatives from ones who passed away.

Now I recall seeing those non relieved Coke stocks once before. I would guess that they are a transitional style with the non relieved style being phased out just as the Cokes for were coming in for the new 44 Magnum. I assume they are extremely rare. If I had a six and a half inch pre 27 with non relief cokes I believe I would ask $3,000 for it. That would be $800 for the gun and $2,200 for the stocks.

I could do better than that. and we could deal.

 

[alwaysoutdoors]

Do you even have the gun?

^^^^ what he said, non relieved targets, nice try though.

 

[AR_Black]

Nice 27....wish I could fine one like that !

Another set of coke bottle stocks without the relieved area. Most likely the two pairs posted (including mine) simply missed that manufacturing step and resulted in instant "collectibles". I bought mine at the S&WCA meeting in Portland, OR in 1999 from Bill Powell, a well known S&W, Colt, and motorcycle collector. Another pair of "collectible" stocks (1969-1974).

also found a K22 in the gold box that I gave a friend for a Chinese SKS way back has diamond grips. Iam working on that one.

 

[triaxle]

Well I just got it and was not to speed on the grips ,they are what they are

 

[moosedog]

You did great. It's those kinds of stories that keep us searching.
