There was some discussion of the Baker case colors. My experience is that the case colors used by Baker Gun and Forging Co. were all very pretty, and wore quite well. Especially on the Paragon and higher grades by BGFCo, when the case colors faded, the receivers looked almost plated.
On the Folsom guns, the case colors were different and were more "showy". Even on the lower grade Batavia Leader the case colors seemed to wear very well, even better than the BGFCo. guns. We see an inordinant amount of bright vibrant case colors on the Folsom Batavia Leaders today, but rarely see vibrant case colors on the BGFCo Batavia Leaders.
