Why do people under value Bakers?
But Jon, Don't you know, Ted & Dewey Vickner don't like them.
I agree with you though, my limited experience with them has always been positive.
For many years Lefevers were also under-valued, but they are now gaining.
I think one thing in both of these brands is that both of them closed shop so early, thus the majority of them have welded barrels, either Twist or Damascus. We went through at least a half Century of being Brain-Washed into believing anything with a welded barrel, regardless of any other factors about it was JUNK.
Parker, Smith, Fox & Ithaca all survived well into the steel barrel age, so have been valued higher.
