I just removed an old dried out Jostam recoil pad from a B grade Baker and am looking to replace it with a correct butt plate. I will be looking for an original at a few shows coming up but if I have to get a replacement I've noticed that both Dutchmanwoodworks and Galazan sell them. Has anyone purchased a butt plate from either company? How was the workmanship?

Jack, there were two buttplate styles for Bakers. The early ones had the B G F Co. entwined in a logo, while the later ones had BAKER written across the middle. The reproductions from either company seem fine. Daryl

Jack K. If you choose, give me the approx. ser. no. to your gun and I will see what is close to one of my guns to tell you which style mine have.

Dave,
It is serial #3; so should have the B G F Co. plate.
Will be looking for the forearm wood as well.

I purchase an Ithaca butt plate from Dutchmanwoodworks and was quite pleased.

I purchased an Ithaca buttplate from Vintage Gun Grips. The first size I chose wasn't quite right. I spoke to Joy and she said send it back with a tracing of my original and they'll send me the correct one. Didn't even charge shipping! I highly recommend them for reproductions.

Yes, that would certainly take the early butt plate. I would sure like to see a picture of this gun.

Thanks for the tip about Vintage Gun Grips, I will check them out as well if I cannot find an original.
As soon as my partner can find their digital camera and take some shots I will post some pics. The gun is in rather nice condition being as old as it is.
