Thanks. Hollenbeck (a man claiming to be his Great-Grandson claims its "Hallenbeck") for Bakers, and Alexander Brown for L C's. Anyone know about the Syracuse Arms/Baker Gun & Forging Co. linkage? Did Syracuse exist (in Syracuse) after the plant burned and the move to Batavia? Were some guns marked "Syracuse" yet completed in Batavia?


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
