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

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.

Thanks! The barrels are 12 gauge Damascus 32inches

"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
