OK the Baker Special I bought is certainly a "fowler" with it's 30" F/F tubes. Ducks due to tend to provide shooting in inclement weather. Water has a way of getting in the actions of both sidelocks and boxlocks. I am not afraid to take apart and clean either of them. I must admit I admire the craftsmanship that went into the Baker and I believe that if I did not get a bargain the Batavia Special is a very undervalued quality double.
