Don't think I have seen Cokes on any other guns other than .44 and .41 Magnums... All the other N-frames had diamond walnut. Think they were phased out around 1966/67... The pros like Doc44 over on the S&W forums would have a more accurate answer... And talk about a beauty.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=545522429 How much did they want for the other guns??? Bob If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....

Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry Deus vult! Rhodesians all now
