Baker Shotguns Serial Numbers

600,000 shotguns of all models and grades with all serial numbers assigned in chronological order. For 1927-1944 year of manufacture date codes, see 'Spanish Year Of MFG. Date Codes' in this section. # end 1999Since 1968-1969 was a transition period in Browning 0001 1999 - 72000. Auto-ejecting Revolver Serial Numbers; Automatic Pistols, Years Produced by Manufacturer; Automatic Pistols with Shoulder Stocks; Baker Shotgun Types; Ballard Models; Ballard Models by Years Produced; Belgian Gun Makers, Modern; Bergmann Semi Auto Pistols; Bore Sizes by Gauge: Boss & Co Serial Numbers; Browning; Browning Serial Numbers; Campo. Serial: 30318 Very pretty wood (a restock) on this little Ideal with nice long barrels. This grade does not feature the rising bite featured on some higher grade Ideal guns but it does have the classic double under-bite with the true trigger plate action. Additional Makes and serial numbers will be added as the project progresses. If you discover that your sporting firearm is in the records, Griffin & Howe will be happy to verify the model, if applicable, and the date when the sporting firearm was first entered into inventory.

Alex, I just read the 21st Ed. Blue Book's sections on W.H.Baker and Baker Gun & Forging Co. 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. sold an interest to L.C.Smith, who dropped the Baker name in 1883. In 1888 they sold the co. to the Hunter bros. 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. until Marlin bought them in the early 40's.
Anyway, with that disclaimer, I quote: 'Baker guns were originally made in 10 and 12ga. and unusual in that the opening mechanism was operated by pressing forward on the front trigger. While relatively rare, most original Baker guns do not have a lot of original finish remaining. Most specimens are priced in the $400-850 range, assuming finish is less than 10%. If condition is better than 40%..evaluate individually.'
Under Baker Gun & Forging: 'Original damascus guns in 80% or better condition with bright case colors will approach the values of steel bbl. counterparts. Check for short chambers and make sure bbls. haven't been shortened.' The New Baker model, exposed hammers, damascus .bbl., extractors: 100%=$350 down to 60%=$150. This is the least expensive of the Baker Gun & Forging models.
Hope this helps some. John

    With the letter F in the serial number, your Batavia Leader was made after Baker Gun & Forging Co. sold out the gun part of their business to H & D Folsom Arms Co. of New York City in 1919. The Baker/Batavia guns put out by H & D Folsom Arms Co. 1919 to 1929 were assembled at their factory in Norwich, Conn., aka Crescent Fire Arms Co.

    I have a fair condition Black Beauty but can't find a serial number anywhere
    there is what appears to be a ss# vibrator engraved on it
    any clue as to where i might find it or is it possible it does not have one and that is a key to the age.
    the safety is inoperable someone messed with it but it is stuck in the fire position
    love the gun will be a project gun unless someone
    with knowledge tells me otherwise.
    age ? value in poor to fair conditon
    thank you so much in advance
