Hi James, I think the gun is a early B grade engraving, http://www.bakercollectors.com/ Look under photos.A Grade 12 Gauge Early
“We do not guarantee that every "B" (or "A") grade gun will be engraved from just the same design, but endeavor to have about the same amount of engraving on each. On receiving an order from a customer we try to select first, one which will fill the specifications as to gauge, weight, length of barrels, drop and length of stock, and then conform to customer's ideas as to engraving , as nearly as possible from guns we may have in stock, but always consider engraving of secondary importance. You may receive a "B" (or "A") with a different design of border, or a duck or a dog in place of the two quail or a dog pointing game, we cannot tell as it is our aim to give a variety of designs.”

Hi John, hard to see the engraving in detail. Sure its much better in the flesh. I was really struck by the wood. Think that might come up really nicely in a re-finish. And it's been a long time since I had a real good look at a Paragon. I'm sure you are correct.
Although I don't have a Baker, when I think of American SxS I would like, the order is Fox, Lefever, Remington and Baker. Don't really care about the others. I don't have a Lefever yet either but those damn Continental guns keep showing up more often. A good, better grade Baker is not too common.
You are breaking my hart James
I have a few Parkers, one is a very nice 16G, I also have a Winchester model 21, They both are getting redone right now by Chris and Brian, I like all good quality older SXS shotguns. Did a little clean up on the Baker last night. John

Not a bad looking piece of wood on that Baker. I like that "classic" North American engraving!
