One more time to the well of knowlege. A friend of mine asked me about hte value of this shotgun.

Any ideas on the value of this old shotgun?

General Characteristics: Double Barrel, exposed hammers, double trigger, damascus Barrels.

1886-1912, exact date unknown

Baker Gun Company-no longer in business

Batavis, NY-no longer there

gun company name on each side of breach

model 1897 on bottom of trigger guard

35523 stamped on wood forepiece-also same number stamped in metal that holds forepiece, also inside breach block

checkered mule ear hammers in rectangular box similar to that on trigger guard


I am trying to get some clear photos.

  Assuming that this is one of the standard field grade Bakers, and not one of the fancier grades:
  
  80% - $195
  70% - $175
  60% - $150
  
  Please don't try to use modern shotgun shells thru this old lady. Damascus barrels were made for blackpowder.
  
  And.....last time I drove thru NY State, Batavia was still there. [:)]
