Is this an early "Batavia Leader" made from 1903 to 1916? The serial number falls in the correct 75,000-106,000 range. I think that this is an early Batavia gun, the same action used on the A and B grades. I'm not sure the correct name for this, so the actual name of this action would be a great help. It also has the spring loaded bolt through the barrel lug, which engages the lower frame. It has the three position safety, I've found referred to as a "Block Safety". This gun is a twist barrel, "Trade Name" gun, marked "New Era" as well as "Nitro Hammerless". I've done a fair bit of research already as far as Bakers, I've read all the stuff on the Baker forum, but quite a bit of other Baker info I've read is incomplete and often contradictory. The next day we poked around and found him an early Baker sidelock in excellent, shootable condition (with proper psi loads) that I'm doing the research on.Ī while back I posted a reply on a thread dealing with the VL&D relationship with Francotte that was proven wrong, so I'm trying to avoid the "a little information is dangerous" syndrome and acquire facts from folks who really have the knowledge. I had converted him overnight to a Vintage Gun Enthusiast, all it took was shooting trap with my L C Grade 0 (2 iron damascus) and my Remington 1889 hammer gun (Twist).
