Baker Batavia Leader
 
I bought a 16 gauge today 30'' barrels and a Fulsom gun. Does anybody know if they came with recoil pads or is this one added on. Length of pull is about 15''.

The H & D Folsom Arms Co. catalogues I have list a "Soft Rubber Recoil Pad" as a $5.50 option on the Paragon, Expert and DeLuxe Grade Baker doubles and the Baker single barrel trap guns, but no mention of a recoil pad as an option on the Batavia Leader or the Black Beauty Special.

Added on, but lots of nice original case color.

Nice. I've been on the hunt for a 16ga myself, but I haven't been able to locate one in the appropriate price range. Everybody has them priced higher than an LC Smith of the same quality, for which I will never agree should be the case. Looks like you found a nice one. Enjoy.

Certainly should be less than L.C. Smith. I got a Spanish 20 gauge as well but I never heard of JANA-DENVER CO.

I found a Batavia Leader in almost new condition about a year ago. I was a later gun but looked like it was wiped with oil,wrapped up and left in a closet for 80 years. Very tight and almost no wear. The varnish was a little crazed but the metal was perfect.

I shot the Baker today. First 16 gauge I have ever shot. I think I am hooked. It is a sweet little gun. 16 ga parker here I come.

i m like you eldon i have a few 16 ga doubles but do not have a parker 16 ga...i need one too maybe i can save my grass cutting money andget one this summer...working on a ithaca 16 rite now with 30 inch barrels...32 inch on a parker would be nice... charlie

Charlie I do not mind what length the barrels are just as long as they are uncut. I 32'' 16 ga is an intriguing idea though.
