- Oct 29, 2018 The Double Gun Journal publication has carried numerous articles about Baker shotguns as well as the other manufacturers over the past 20 years if interested further. There was more than 6 U.S. Manufacturers of quality SxS shotguns however around the turn of the century, Colt, Syracuse and Remington come to mind.
- Aug 14, 2011 I read that the Damascus barrel was employed first in the manufacture of these shotguns, but that they later used a stronger steel. Seeing as my serial number is so much higher than most, I am wondering if I have one of the last firearms manufactured by the Baker Gun company. BTW, the grip, receiver, and barrels all have the same serial number.
