Correct. No firing pin retaining screw; the pin is held in place by the lockplate, and a different top rib extension lock-up

Model 1909's were made in Paragon, Expert, and Deluxe grades. Expert replaced the L and the standard Deluxe dropped. The 1909's had different shaped lock plates, a different bolt, different engraving on the Paragon, and the serial number is followed by N.N. on the examples I have seen.

I see now that there isn't the firing pin screw. A 1909 with the cross bolt is what I was originally looking for, I had to settle for a Special Paragon. That 1909 is a nice gun! The engraving scene is the among the most appealing of any I have seen on a vintage gun.

efferey, I think i would prefer your spec. Paragon over a late 1909 Paragon. Late guns had black oxide frames, like black beauties, and the quality of the engraving had declined significantly.

That gun was manufactured by H.D. Folsom after Baker was purchased by them in 1919. The F suffix following the serial number is the identifying evidence.

Thanks Craig. I finally found that info. Then I read no production info available for Folsom. Looks like the best I can say is it was made between 1920 and 1929. Folsom put out a lot of guns over that period of time given my SN over 200000. I have hunted with this gun but I don’t shoot it well. Will give it another go this fall but if I miss too many more roosters then it’s back to Parkers that I do shoot well. Cheers Jack
