Default Baker Gun Co.

Here is a new purchase that I am proud of. Does anyone know what grade to call it?
Thanks,
Ken

Looks like a good find. Nice strong engraving on that one. The A grades had damascus barrels. B grades had twist.

10ga? Big balls on that one. I've been looking for a nice Baker for a bit. Our own Mr. Dudley has a pretty nice looking 16ga Folsom-era Baker that has just appeared on the 'broker. Fantastic colors, if anyone is interested. Very tempting gun.

"Best London Damascus Twist" was found on Baker B grades and an occasional A grade, as well as Lefever H grades, and L.C. Smith Maker Baker guns



and some Parker P grades



and BTW: the R introduced in 1906 had the doggie pointing...uh..a pheasant? and less engraving
