Baker Shotgun Information and Pictures

Posted by Daryl Hallquist on April 14, 2026, 9:39 am

Some years ago Dr. Robert Decker helped put together a Baker Shotgun Collectors website . Much of the early L C Smith history starts with W H Baker. We are having hosting problems , but one can view the website via Dr. Drew's website. I think you will enjoy the early L C Smith history , as well as the Baker guns made after the Baker/Smith partnership split in 1879. View the information here.

Daryl and Dr. Drew. Looking for any info available on a WH Baker drilling 10x10x44.40, serial number 184. I think it was built in 1875. Thanks, Tom
