It is the Batavia Hammerless. See the Hammerless Boxlock section here --
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...sn2alC9ek/edit From The Baker Gun Quarterly, March 1897 -- Batavia Hammerless from The Baker Gun Quarterly, March 1897.jpeg Batavia Hammerless text from The Baker Gun Quarterly, March 1897 01.jpeg Batavia Hammerless text from The Baker Gun Quarterly, March 1897 02.jpeg Batavia Hammerless text from The Baker Gun Quarterly, March 1897 03.jpg It was the Baker Gun & Forging Company's low priced gun during the latter half of the 1890s. A lot of them were made as "trade branded" guns for various dealers. In 1900 they brought out their low priced sidelock guns the Batavia Leader/Special/Damascus/Brush etc. |

I have owned a couple of these baker hammerless guns. They are not very often encountered.
As I recall, I think both of mine were marked for Montgomery Ward.

I currently am custodian of a Montgomery Ward Baker. It is the heaviest 12 gauge I’ve ever taken afield. It is meant for a duck blind not chasing pheasants
