Baker Gun Co of Batavia NY
You'll probably have to find a gunsmith who can make your parts. Shotguns marked Baker Gun Co were made in Belgium or by Crescent Fire Arms, Meriden, CT, for H & D Folsom in the early 20th Century.
What is the value of a Baker Gun Co Model 1897?" What is the value of a Baker Gun Co Model 1897?" XXXXXXXXXXXX If you post in the answer section, we don't see your post as an unanswered question. The Baker shotguns may sell for $100-500, depending on condition, grade, and whether they have damascus barrels. The early guns with damascus (twist steel or laminated steel) were intended for black powder shells only, and are generally "wall hangers" today- and worth less than later guns that can safely fire smokeless powder shells.

There is a lot of Information on the Baker Gun & Forging Co. They started in 1890 and made shotguns up to 1923. They made several different grades of shotguns. I suggest that you go to a book store and find a book called "2008 standard catalogue of firearms 18 edition" in it you will find several different photos of shotguns and listing of the different grades. All of them are valuable. look on page 104 for the information you are seeking.
