I am currently looking at several (entry level) damascus guns which I would use as a BP shooter for pheasants and occasional sporties. I see there are two Baker's on the gun boards trade named 'New Era Gun Works'. My search suggests these were made in conjunction with the 1893 Chicago worlds fair. I would appreciate any of your thoughts on the this model as a BP shooter.

The alternate looks like it may be an Ithaca Flues. I appears the Flues line started in 1903 hence at least 10 years newer than the Baker New Era. Thanks
