Upgraded Engraved Baker Gun Co. "Deluxe Grade" Double Barrel Shotgun

The Baker Gun Company was once among the top American makers of double guns and was part of what was known as the "Big 6" along with Parker Brothers, A. H. Fox, L.C. Smith, Ithaca, and Lefever. The Deluxe Grade gun was the finest produced by Baker and shows off the exceptional skill and precision that the artisans at the company were capable of. The gun was built with blued steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted concave solid rib, light engraving at the breech, and chambers measured 2 3/4 inches with single extractor. The barrels are matted to a casehardened sidelock action which displays extensive scroll engraving covering nearly the entire surface surrounding "BAKER GUN Co." inlaid in gold on either side and two game scenes consisting of a setter ready to flush a pair of quail on the left and a pointer poised to flush a pair of woodcock on the right. The watertable is marked with a gold inlaid "DELUXE". The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is mounted with a exceptional highly figured and fancy fleur-de-lis checkered splinter forend with engraved shoe and a carved ebony tip inlay along with a pistol grip stock with carved stepped drop points, a rosewood grip cap, and a factory hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .722/.721 inches; choke constriction .039/.041 inches; minimum wall thickness .039/.039 inches; 1 13/16 inch drop at comb; 2 13/16 inch drop at heel; 14 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 14 oz.

ConditionVery fine as professionally upgraded, retaining 99% blue finish, traces of original case colors in some of the protected areas with the remaining brushed bight, light handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. Don't miss this opportunity to own this rare American double!
