In this thread there were some talk and questions about a 10 gauge Batavia Leader for sale. It has a serial number in the 43,000 range, not a range in common with either most Baker Gun and Forging Company Leaders or the Folsom made ones. But, in the period of approx. 1915-1919 when Baker Gun and Forging Company was making fewer guns and more auto parts, there were a variety of double shotguns and single traps in all grades and models that are found intermittently in the serial ranges of 37,000 -51,000. Many of these guns could be "odd" models, made up of available parts. I think the advertised 10 gauge is just that. Damascus barrels were not listed on Leaders of that period. Note that there are no firing pin retaining screws, like the guns made in the late teens. I have recorded other Leader 10 gauges , just a few, near the 43,000 range, so it is rare, but not unique.
