While relatively rare, most original Baker guns do not have a lot of original finish remaining. and unusual in that the opening mechanism was operated by pressing forward on the front trigger. until Marlin bought them in the early 40's.Īnyway, with that disclaimer, I quote: "Baker guns were originally made in 10 and 12ga. and it became Baker Gun & Forging and made the New Baker(in addition to the Ithaca.) Then Hunter Arms made the L.C.Smith for 60 yrs. sold an interest to L.C.Smith, who dropped the Baker name in 1883. and didn't see a Model B.(I do this to learn a little.)Before I assume you are referring to a W.H.Baker, what company is marked on the gun? The Baker bros.
