Baker Paragon in 20 gauge

Does anyone know much about the Bakers on this forum? I can't find much, I ended up with a Baker Paragon ejector gun in 20 gauge, just wondered if there is a place to find some info. Thanks much, Jerry

Jerry, Check over on the Doublegunshop forum. There are some pretty knowledgeable guys there.

Baker was purchased by Folsom in the late teens or twenties. Guns finished by Folsom had an F preceding the serial number. I once owned a very nice 20 gauge Baker that had been finished by Folsom. The Paragon was one of their high grades. Their 20s were pretty guns and much more graceful, in my opinion, than the other American sidelock, the LC Smith.
