It has a single trigger and ejectors and english stock. Are any of yours ejector guns? Do you plan to shoot them? Thanks Mike Is your gun damascus and what loads do you shoot?

The ser. no. posted would be for a very early Leader and I would suspect that ser. no. range would have been twist barrels, according to my scources. Anyhow, very nice set of Bakers. I have a Paragon(no. 297) myself that is in need of more attention, but it is still the high water mark of my meager collection, though it is not the Baker I have that is in the best condition. Someday I will get it there. In this current market, I am not sure how to place value guns. I would love to see the wood on all three of these guns if you can post them. I just love Baker eye candy. Bakers are still my favorite. Ever since Chris Schotz put me on to a very nice "A" grade, that the fever started.

Wow, what can I say about the wood and the engraving. The 30" is very nice, but like you said, the wood is not of the figure of the 28" barrel. Thanks so much for the Baker eye candy.
