Probably is correct. I have seen Krupp on a couple and sometimes Belgian proofs on the underside near the flats.

An S isn't really a low grade Baker. It is a hammer block gun, and has some modest engraving.

I've looked for a 16 for years, no luck. I wouldn't pay Cabelas' prices, anyway, and I'm over my refinished gun stage. Honest wear and tear in a functional package would be just fine.

You won't see many for sale. I wonder how many they built?
Best,
Ted

From the serial numbers I have observed there were about 900 R and S grades built, with about a quarter of them being S Grades. I have never seen a 16 ga. S Grade and only about 5% of the R Grades were 16 gauges from the samples I have seen. The Rest were 12 gauges.

That explains it. I'll keep looking, anyway.

We can dream, right?
Best,
Ted
