it always seemed to be for me, I assumed this gun is a side by side shotgun with a rifle barrel under. I have seen a few Bakers and they were all in that configuration. The ones I have handled had not, shall we say, aged well. they showed rough use.
it would be interesting to know the chambers. So many of the continental guns are 16 gauge and often a Mauser rifle cartridge. I would wonder if the Bakers were "Americanized" - say a12 with a 30-40 or 30-30.
