Baker guns

[james nedela]

I checked the gun out today. No "F" after the serial. I go along with a 1900 gun, not a Folsom gun. I like that.

Don't know how I thought it had a Folsom serial#.

[Researcher]

Is the gun marked "Baker Gun & Forging" or (Folsom) "Baker Gun Co." with a "F" after the SN?

Even though the company name on their letterheads was Baker Gun & Forging Co.

The name on all the hammerless guns I've ever seen is Baker Gun Co. From this very early A-Grade one-pin gun onwards --
