If anyone with a graded Baker hammerless or an 1897 wound be willing to send me clear picture of the forend pattern, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Grade?

Bill, here's a pre-folsom Baker Batavia Leader fore end if it helps. I'll get a pic of the fore end on my Paragon if you need it...Geo

There were only two, but I am looking for a D grade 1897. D for damascus. An A grade hammerless would also work, as they are the same pattern. The pattern has two panels on the forend with a bare strip down the center.

Paragon does not have two panels, that's all the Bakers I have...Geo

Bill, i emailed you a few photos of an A grade forend. In the early 2,000 serial range.
