H & D Folsom Arms Co. bought the fire arms part of the Baker Gun & Forging Co. circa 1919, and moved production to their Crescent Fire Arms Co. factory in Norwich, Conn. A lot of the Folsom era Bakers don't have an address on them, just BAKER GUN CO. on one lock plate and BATAVIA LEADER on the other, but here is one with the Norwich, Conn. address --

16714F 02 Batavia Leader, Baker Gun Co., Norwich, Conn. right side.jpg
All the Folsom era Bakers have an F in the serial number. It appears the Batavia Leaders and the Black Beauty Specials have a lower serial number range --

While the graded guns are in the 201xxx range --
