Thank you for responding. I was under the impression that Batavia was where the gun was made and that they were labled in Grades of A, B and Parigon, which were different from the Leader model. I also originally thought this is an A grade, but wonder if it could be a Parigon. My research into the Baker is as faollows; A Grade 1892-1908 Three blade Damascus barrels, same engraving as B grade, better wood and finish B Grade 1892-1909 London twist, good line and scroll engraving with dog and bird on locks, better wood and finish than Leader model Paragon Grade 1894-1919 very fine Damascus or Krupp barrels, fine scroll and game scene engraving, best quality wood, checkering and finish, special order only Thank you for your information on the value and for taking the time to respond.
I have added more pic to show the checkering and grain of the stock and the fine damascus consistent with the Paragon. Hello, Your gun is either an A or a B grade. The only way to tell is to look at the barrels. An A will have Damascus and a B will have Twist. If you upload close ups on the barrel pattern I can identify that for you. The pictures shown are hard to see the pattern. The fore end has some poor repairs (the screws in the bottom) and would need to replaced in order for a collector to want it but then you defeat the purpose because now it would have replaced wood.
Your stock has some gouge marks near the end of the side plates which leads me to believe there is hairline crack in the stock, but maybe not. Your screws are what I would call butchered. Here is some information on both the A and B grade.
A: Made in: 10ga with 30 or 32 inch barrels 12ga - 28, 30 or 32 inch barrels 16ga - with 28 or 30 inch barrels Serial numbers range from 1-7000 for this grade(A and B mixed) which puts your gun within the last 100 A's and B's made. In the 6000 range A's and B's should be marked 'A' or 'B' in the serial number but 'should be' is not always true.
Made from 1892-1908 Cost to manufacture: $50.00 Design: Sidelock with minimal scroll engraving and a dog or bird. B: Made in: 10ga with 30 or 32 inch barrels 12ga - 28, 30 or 32 inch barrels 16ga - with 28 or 30 inch barrels Serial numbers range from 1-7000 for this grade(A and B mixed) which puts your gun within the last 100 A's and B's made. In the 6000 range A's and B's should be marked 'A' or 'B' in the serial number but 'should be' is not always true. Made from 1892-1909 Cost to manufacture: $40.00 Design: Sidelock with minimal scroll engraving and a dog or bird. A Grade) Value in current state: $100-350 B Grade) Value in current state: $100-300 These are My prices. Prices vary on who you talk to.
There is no 'Standard Book Price' and no two people will tell you the same amount. Attached is one page of the '1909 Baker Gunner'. It lists the B grade but not the A. If you would like to or nhl sabres.

$300 FTF in Illinois with valid FOID. Face to face in Illinois would be best. I am not an FFL or C+R, so FTF would be best. This is a BAKER BATAVIA LEADER double-barrel shotgun. This was made between 1909 and 1919, I believe, made in Batavia, New York. Here's what I could find out: The Baker Gun & Forging Co.
Had a line of double barrel shotguns, sidelocks, called Batavia guns in 1903. They had, in 1909, 'The Baker Gunner,' the 'Batavia Leader' with twist barrels at $25, the 'Batavia Special' with steel barrels at $21.75, the 'Batavia Damascus' at $28, the 'Batavia Brush' at $24, the 'Batavia Ejector' at $35.
This gun in the pics is the BATAVIA LEADER as you can see. The Batavia line did not have the 'firing pin block safety' or the 'draw block' which passes through the barrel lug and into the frame.
The sidelock 'Black Beauty' replaced the Batavia Special, Leader, and Damascus guns about 1916. The Batavia Leader number series were from 75,000 to about 106,000. This one is 786XX, which puts it in the early days. Now, Baker Gun & Forging sold the business to H.& D. Folsom in 1919 and then the guns were marked 'Baker Gun Co.'

As this one is not, I assume it is earlier than that. Baker did offer a 'Batavia Leader' however.
Baker Shotgun Serial Numbers
Grades for these Folsom owned Baker Guns were the 'Batavia Leader,' 'Black Beauty Special,' 'Paragon,' 'Expert,' and 'DeLuxe.' Folsom listed the Black Beauty Special for $62 -$77 with ejectors, the Paragon $100 -$115, the Expert for $215, and the DeLuxe for $385.
Folsom era Bakers usually have an F before or after the serial numbers 1- about 14,000 so again, I believe this one is before that. H & D Folsom Arms Co. 23, 25, and 31 (1929-1930) only list the Batavia Leader and Black Beauty Special.
By 1932 they had no more Baker Guns. Baker Gun Co. Was closed in 1930 and the factory started making car parts. About 150,000 Baker guns were produced prior to the Folsom ownership.
So based on the above, I believe this is a 1909 - 1919 gun. This gun has plenty of wear, and a light patina, and a few little rust spots in the one photo near the forearm. It has some small chips to the wood near the trigger guard. This has a chip to the lower portion of the buttplate and the wood (toe?) at that point of the stock.
This is OLD, and and the info I have found on the internet says that you don't want to shoot a gun this old unless checked by a gunsmith first.an expert gunsmith who knows these old guns and can tell you if it is safe. Please see the pictures. If you need more photos, shoot me an email and I can send you more. Am I asking too much? Book value is a bit more than the asking price.You need to list the condition of the bores, very important on this gun where condition is everything, and if I were you I'd try listing it on Doublegunshop.com Gunboards is tops for the regular run of C&Rs but for shotguns there are more folks interested in the older shotguns on that specialty.
site. Standard 12 ga bores are.729 inch (cylinder bore), a full choke is.694, modified.710 and Improved Cylinder.720 inches. If you have an inside micrometer they're easy to measure but all dimensions may vary from 'standard'. If I wasn't a nice person I'd use the term 'gun snob'.
