Made sometime between 1905 and 1931. They were made by the Baker Gun Company in Batavia New York.
Baker Gun Co of Batavia NY
There were BATAVIA SPECIAL shotguns, BATAVIA LEADER, etc, made with both steel and damascus barrels. Condition is key, but $300-$400 is realistic. The serial number is 93269.It was bought in 1960.Batavia NY is stamped on it.
The Batavia Leader was a model of shotgun made by the Baker Gun Co in New York from c.1903-1933. They were good quality shotguns in their day and high-condition original specimens are becoming moderately collectable.
I have a shotgun made by Baker Gun company it is sixteen (16) gauge , Model Batavia Leader, Serial Number 16812F and made in Norwich, Connecticut. I would like to know the history of this gun, (date it was made, value, etc.). I would also like to know where to purchase a stock for it. Any help would be appreciated SaltedHog

It was made by the Baker Gun & Forging Co in Batavia NY. They are generally known for their double shotguns, but they did offer this little semiauto rifle from c.1901 through c.1918. The company was sold to H&D Folsom in 1919. www.countrygunsmith.net
