If the choke taper is less than an inch, that would suggest they've been cut. Folsom-made Baker guns normally have an F before or after the serial number, and would be somewhat less desirable. There are a few 12g Leaders on GunsAmerica http://www.gunsamerica.com/Search.aspx?T=Baker%20Shotgun Researcher should be along soon with his brief history of the Baker Batavia guns Last edited by revdocdrew; 05/20/07 03:41 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I don't think it is a Paragon and I explained it to the seller, but he wants it to be one instead of an "A" grade. http://www.gunsamerica.com/976866431/Gun...AL_CONDITIO.htm

Smith Maker Syracuse Baker gun, nor a Paragon, and not so sure about "LOTS OF CASE COLOR THAT TURNED BROWN" either You and Robert have sure added alot of information on the Paragon thread and thanks!

It also has the smaller trigger guard that was also used on the late Baker, Bakers.So it appears to me to be a Folsom gun. Nice looking gun, but I agree with revdocdrew, why the gap? Thanks for the kind words. I am kind of a Baker nut, but there are those alot smarter than me and I am still learning.
