    Walt. You may want to look at The American Rifleman, June 1968, Page 54, an article by Kenneth H. Shanks. A serial number range chart is provided on page 59. W.H.Baker did not have a Deluxe grade to my knowledge, however the Baker Gun & Forging Co., of Batavia,N.Y. did. The two most knowledgeable people I know on Baker's are: Daryl Hallquist (406)282-7164 and Chris Schotz 3468 Raymond Rd. Sanborn.N.Y. 14132. Hope this helps. We have some pretty good pictures of early W.H.Baker trigger break guns in the new L.C.Smith Book than can be ordered on this web site under publications.
