Maybe if you look here: http://smith-wessonforum.com/member...88-coke-bottle-stocks-1956-goncalo-alves.html
sure looks like it, now to get an expert to confirm, fyi S&W offered what collectors call coke bottle stocks for about ten years. They first appeared in 1956 on the NEW 44 Magnum and were phased out beginning in 1966. I think S&W was trying to standardize the type of stocks they made and the "standard" target stock introduced in the early 50s was more than adequate, so they dropped the coke bottle style in favor of it.

Also not all targets are Cokes but.......all Cokes are targets
The easiest way to confirm Cokes is to look at the LARGER checkered area.

Nothing makes my day like a 27 in hand. Simply gorgeous proportions but in Plus Size.
Is this thread exclusively for 27-2's?

I'll have to get pics when I get home, but I have a 3.5" pre 27, a 4" 27 and 28, and a 5" 27. Nice wheel guns. - dan

I did shoot them side by side, very accurate but could not tell the difference in trigger feel, just very good : )

Sigh. This thread makes me wonder what was wrong with me when I sold my 27. All I have now are pics of it.
I even found a really nice set of Goncalo Alves finger groove grips to replace those terrible laminated pieces. At least I still have them, just waiting for a pistol to put them on now.
