American DoubleGuns

Baker Batavia Leader 20 gauge with 28” barrels bored full and modified. This rare little gun is in 98% original condition with 99% vivid case colors, 99% barrel blue and 95% stock varnish. Bakers in 20 gauge are very uncommon – almost rare. When almost perfect one has to resort to saying what isn’t perfect, so: there is a chip out of the tip of the forend, spots of corrosion on the bottom of the trigger guard, and the stock has some minor nicks and blemishes. A better example would be hard to find – a true collector quality gun. __ $1800 (pics)

Baker RKE Grade (SN 200498, ca. 1925) 12 ga with 30 inch Krupp steel barrels bored full and modified. The Baker gun is a true American sidelock like the L. C. Smith and of similar quality and price. Graded Bakers are infrequently seen. Both R grade and ejectors are very uncommon. This gun is in very good original condition with most of the original faded case colors, barrel blue and stock varnish. The straight English type stock has unusually nice figure and fine 20 lpe checkering and good stock dimensions: LOP – 14” from front trigger to rubber recoil pad; D@C - 1 7/8”; and D@H – 2 1/4”. ___ $1500.

Remington Arms Co., Ilion, NY

Remington Model 1900 K Grade 12 ga with 29” fluid steel barrels bored modified and improved cylinder – mint bores. I am convinced these are original 29” barrels. Over all there is about 95% original finish but shows a few handling marks and toning. Slightly faded case colors are about 92% but most remain bright and vivid. Barrel blue remains about 98% with some toning of color. Stock varnish is also 98% with no chips, dents or abrasions. The monogram buttplate is near perfect.

Remington Model 11; Produced during WWII for the US Army Air Force for training aerial gunners. 12 gauge with 26”improved cylinder. This gun is in excellent condition (98%) with only a few handling marks and slight wear on sharp corners. The top of the action is marked “US –with Ordnance Flaming Bomb- Military Finish”. The top of the barrel is marked “for 2 3/4 inch or shorter shells” and “Imp cyl”. Stock has original Remington hard rubber buttplate. This gun has been part of my Remington collection for years. My father bought it out of surplus when Camp Fannin closed in 1947. These are rare because the Government disposed of the bulk of them in a deal with Ithaca to take all the remaining model 11 guns in trade as part of a contract for Ithacas. This one escaped because it was being used as a guard gun for POWs at Camp Fannin near Tyler, TX.___ $600 (pics)

It has also taken several deer with slugs or buck shot. -- $250 (pics)

35 Griffin & Howe Rifle made on a Check VZ 24 Mauser action with dies cases and bullets. Excellent bore and mechanical condition. Good cosmetics. The stock is of medium grade walnut with Monte Carlo cheek piece and old recoil pad. The 35 G&H is now considered a wildcat but was once a factory loaded cartridge. It utilizes the full length 375 H&H case blown out and necked down to 35 cal. and is suitable for any North American game and African game for which the 375 H&H would be recommended. It has superior ballistics - higher velocity, flatter trajectory and higher energy at longer range. This gun is fitted with low scope safety, double set trigger and base for the Precision Scope Mount but - the rings are missing. This gun shoots quite well but as expected has a lot of kick at both ends. My son referred to it as the 35 Groaning & Howling. $550 (Pics)
