I don't believe the serial numbers ranges of Folsom guns relate to Batavia Bakers at all. I owned two Folsom Leaders one in 20ga. and one in 16ga. both serial nos. were below 201000 and I believe the 20ga. was below 200400. My opinion is that Folsom started there serial nos. at 200,000 followed by the F suffix to avoid confusion with Batavia R and S's.
