History of the Baker Guns History of the Baker Guns The Baker evolution is complicated and our first word of the gunmaker started with the W.H. Baker doing gunsmith work in Greene, N. 1860 finds W. Baker in Marathon producing a variety of guns. In 1867 Baker is in Lisle, N.Y. Making muzzle loaders, conversions, two and three barreled breechloaders, all of which were marked W. Baker until 1877.

Was formed in Syracuse, and it was financed by L. Smith and his brother Leroy.

This partnership lasted 1877-1880. Baker eventually went to Ithaca, N.Y. In 1883, and along with others in Ithaca established the Ithaca Gun Co. Smith soon followed from Syracuse. Baker left Ithaca early 1887 and returned to Syracuse to work with his brother Dr. Ellis Baker at the Syracuse Forging Co., which soon became the Syracuse Forging & Gun Co.

After the factory in Syracuse burned in the summer of 1888, they moved to Batavia and later became the Baker Gun & Forging Co. At the time of the move W.H. Baker was ill with TB and/or silicosis and they brought in Frank A. Hollenbeck as plant superintendent 1890-1892. Frank Hollenbeck had three patents granted while he was in Batavia, and two were assigned to Baker Gun & Forging; October 13, 1891 and August 23, 1892 Nos. 461182 and 481327. Several different guns owe part of their designs to Frank A.

Hollenbeck - Baker, Syracuse Arms Co., Baltimore Arms Co., Hollenbeck Gun Co., Royal Gun Co., and The Three Barrel Gun Co. Frank had earlier worked with Baker in Lisle, NY, and later with Baker and L.C.

Smith in Syracuse. Baker grades changed over the years, and the A and B grades were not marked on the frame after about 1896. Early Paragons and higher grades were usually not grade marked until about 1906; 'PKE' for Paragon Krupp Ejector. Later A and B grades in the 6000 range showed grade markings again. T, D, and S marks may be found on the hook indicating the barrel material; the meaning of 'H' sometimes stamped on the barrel flats is uncertain. Early Baker Gun & Forging guns included the B grade with 'London Twist' barrels, the A grade with 'Fine Damascus', and the Paragon Grade with more extensive engraving, nicer wood, and finer Damascus barrels.

About 1897, the $100 Pigeon Gun was added which was essentially a Paragon but with pigeons in the engraving and steel barrels. The Batavia 'C' grade was a hammerless boxlock, and the first of the Batavia grades. Later, the Paragon with Damascus barrels was called the P grade, with Krupp steel barrels the N grade, an even nicer Trap Gun was called the L grade.
