There probably are none as they were manufactured long before serialization was required by law. Well, allow me to help you on the question as to where the serial number can be found on a W.
Davenport shotgun. NRemove the barre l. The shotgun I have has a flip open tab on the right side that is attached to a screw. Unscrew that and remove the barrel.On the underside of the barrel, at the breech, you'll find the serial number.
NAlso, I noticed, behind the after end of the trigger guard are two numbers. Those two numbers match the last two numbers of the serial number.
I'm not sure of their purpose.NIf this was helpful drop me a line at z.poet$pam@verizon.net (Of course, remove the $pam from the address.) n. NCheers, nGeorge nNote: matching no's will be found on the lock, stock & barrel. The four didgits are found inside the frt stock that cradles the barrel, under the barrel where the lock will conceal when assembled. Also inside the top of the rear stock where the lock is attached, and under the lock behind the trigger guard as mentioned. And contrary to George, all numbers match on my 'Davenport'. Signed the stunner.streamsdertno.
During the period of 1915-1919, Baker Gun and Forging Co. Was doing a lot of work on forged auto parts and much less work on guns.
Baker Gun Company Shotguns
Baker 'normally' had their different gun models in blocks of serial numbers for each gun model, but during this period they had many models in the same block of serial numbers, from roughly the high 30,000 range through 51,000 or so. In that range one could find single barrel trap guns, Leaders, Paragons, Black Beauty, and a couple of others. I might guess your Leader would have a cocking mechanism different than most Bakers. I might also guess your gun has steel barrels rather than the earlier twist barrels for the Leader. These Leaders were well finished, compared to the Folsom offerings.The name 'Baker Gun Company' can be found on the majority of models by Baker Gun and Forging Co.
From the late 1890s through to the end in 1919. That term seems to be the preferred one for them. To the best of my knowledge the company was never incorporated.Edited by Daryl Hallquist ( 11/01/15 09:22 AM).
Drew, those are good pictures.Firstly, I have never seen a Folsom made gun with Damascus or twist barrels. Interesting to me and about 5 guys in the worldSecondly, your observance of the firing pin retaining screw is accurate. The interior edge of the sideplate retained the firing pin in the Model Nineteen Nine the L Trap Grade you show. All other L Trap Grades I have seen had the typical Baker Gun and Forging Co.
Firing pin retaining screw. The Batavia Leader in the 50,000 range that originated this post would also retain the firing pin with the inside of the lock plate. I would guess that it looks like this one from my group.Edited by Daryl Hallquist ( 11/01/15 07:09 PM).
Sort of a Hi-Jack here I suppose. Recently I was shown an old 12 ga hammer double by a former co-worker & still friend. Turned out to be a 'New Baker' made by Syracuse Forging & Gun Co, SN 2473. It carried two patent dates on the Watertable, June 1, 1880 & Oct 4, 1887. The first of these would appear to be #228,165 issued to W H Baker for the forend fastener (J Spring) & the second to A C Mcfarland for the Rebounding Locks (trigger plate action). 30' twist barrels & while I didn't weigh it I would guess a solid 8lbs or more.
Baker Gun Company Shotgun Serial Numbers
Not high condition but shootable with appropriate loads. Pretty weight forward & a lot of drop to the stock though. Fairly plain wood with checkering mostly worn smooth, but appears to have been originally a nice pattern, nothing real fancy. I do not know if these were offered in different grades or not but this one would have been a basic field grade if so. 2-piper, the New Baker you saw, if it was marked Syracuse Forging and Gun Company, Syracuse, was made before the factory fire in 1889.
After the move of the company to Batavia in 1890 a few guns were marked Syracuse Forging and Gun Co., Batavia. The company name was soon changed to Baker Gun and Forging Co.Catalogs and ads I have seen show the New Baker in one grade.
But, I have seen a few with some engraving and receiver sculpturing and Damascus rather than twist barrels.Edited by Daryl Hallquist ( 12/05/15 10:48 AM). Updated every minute of everyday!Copyright (c) 1993 - 2019 doublegunshop.com. All rights reserved. Doublegunshop.com - Bloomfield, NY 14469.
