Re: baker 12 gauge hammerless doublebarrel shotgun serial number Posted by Jon Williams on December 22, 2017, 5:42 pm, in reply to 'Re: baker 12 gauge hammerless doublebarrel shotgun serial number' I have a baker double barrel but can not find any numbers on it all except underneath behind the trigger gaurd is what looks like a 100.

But have it looked over by a gunsmith. I had an old Marshwood double barrel handed down to me from my dad that looked just like it, and it shot just fine.

All have 6 number's in the serial number. So if the serial number start's with a (3) it is a model 1900. Also on the 1894 especially on later gun's sometimes there is a 'P' ahead of the serial number, The 'P' signifies the 1894. On the 1900 sometimes there is a 'Q' ahead of the serial number, the 'Q' signifies the model 1900.

I'm looking for any info I could get on a Baker Damascus Double Barrel w/ Serial #8XX. The gentleman I acquired it from had a paper in case stating it was a 'Baker Gold Medallion' but I haven't been able to find any info by doing searches. I'm an extreme newbie when it comes to knowledge but the shotgun looks to me to be in really nice condition with no scratches or dings on the stock, forearm or metal. The engravings are strong and don't show any wear. I would really appreciate any info/opinions people can offer. My reference 'The Breech Loading Shotgun In America, 1860 to 1940' list three makers named Baker, two American and one English.

What Baker guns does that serial number list apply to? Baker was making his trigger-break hammer double and three-barrel guns in Lisle, New York, in 1876 and then Syracuse, New York, by 1877, as W.H. By 1879 the magazine ads show L.C. Smith as being the dominant partner as L.C. Smith maker of Baker Pat'd Gun.

The round knob on the grip is not characteristic of 'cheaper' guns, this is an added expense. Also no maker's name is odd. Makes me think it is Belgian in origin but with no proof marks on the barrel flats that's unlikely.

Use only 2 3/4' shells. But have it looked over by a gunsmith. I had an old Marshwood double barrel handed down to me from my dad that looked just like it, and it shot just fine. What condition is the barrel in?

A few years ago, circa 1995, there was a young guy who was trying to write a history of the company and its guns. I haven't heard from him in years and haven't seen the book anywhere so I guess that it has not been published.

It does have the receiver and lock work of the Riverside Arms 315 which was a Stevens name, I think Steven's bought them in the mid 1910s. What strikes me still is the stock, the Riverside was a price point gun.

As far as I know, there is nothing like a Baker Collector's Club, but several years ago I met some folks through the L.C. Smith Collectors Association who knew a great deal about Baker guns. The is a collector's market for Baker guns, but it's very limited, the higher end models are the most sought after, and condition means everything.

Baker is ill with TB and Ellis brings in Frank A. Hollenbeck to be plant superintendant. The companies name is soon changed to Baker Gun and Forging Co. And the 'New Baker' is changed from being underbolted to being bolted by a wedge thru a rib extension. Hollenbeck is granted three double gun patents while he is in Batavia and two are assigned to the Baker Gun & Forging Co. I have now seen an early B-Grade with these three patent dates, but most hammerless Bakers I’ve looked at don’t have any patent dates on them.

The guy at the gun show took it apart and the serial number on the inside reads 35762 and it matches the same number on the wood. From all the searching I have done it looks like an old Stevens but I am not sure since it has no other markings on it. Any help would be appreciated in identifying what it is and how old.

, and a number of others. Most of these were sourced from the Batavia line. Baker Gun & Forging Co. Added a lower priced line of sidelocks called Batavia guns in 1903. There were several variations of the Batavia line in the 1909 'The Baker Gunner': the Batavia Leader with twist barrels at $25, the Batavia Special with steel barrels at $21.75, the Batavia Damascus at $28, the Batavia Brush with 26-inch Twist barrels and a straight-grip stock at $24, the Batavia Ejector with steel barrels at $35 and with Damascus barrels for $37.50. To reduce costs the Batavia line did not have the 'firing pin block safety' or the 'draw block' which passes transversely through the barrel lug and mates into recesses in the frame. The sidelock Black Beauty replaced the Batavia Special, Leader, and Damascus guns about 1916.

Frank had earlier worked with Baker in Lisle, NY, and later with Baker and L.C. Smith in Syracuse. Baker grades changed over the years, and the A and B grades were not marked on the frame after about 1896. Early Paragons and higher grades were usually not grade marked until about 1906; 'PKE' for Paragon Krupp Ejector.

A major marketer, manufacturer and importer of low priced guns. Folsom added the 20-gauge to the Baker line that they produced. Folsom-made Baker guns normally have an F before or after the serial number. In the very last Baker ads that I've found in old sporting magazines from April and May 1928, and October 1929, Folsom also offered a 410-bore Batavia Leader, though I've never seen one.

Hollenbeck had three patents granted while he was in Batavia and two are assigned to the Baker Gun & Forging Co. From your brief description it sounds like you have a Baker B-grade.
