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
Making the assumption that you have a Baker Batavia Leader shotgun, the value can be anywhere from $100 to $2000. There are multiple grades of these shotguns, ranging from plain to ornate. With a collectable gun, condition plays a major part in pricing. You need a hands-on appraisal from someone that knows these guns.
The value of a Batavia Leader 12 gauge shotgun in very good condition typically ranges from $300 to $600, depending on factors such as specific model, grade, and local market demand. Collectibility and historical significance can also influence the price. To get an accurate appraisal, it's best to consult with a firearms expert or check recent sales of similar models.
You bet. Available with 26", 28" or 30" barrels. sales@countrygunsmith.net
There were 4 kinds of Batavias made by the Baker Gun &Forging Co in Batavia , NY. If in POOR codition about $175. If in EXCELLENT condition about $500. tops. (EXCELLENT means it is darn near LIKE-NEW, 98% or better.)

If it's new take it back, if not well that's up to the seller and you to figure out. It's not all that uncommon to buy a mismatched gun/box I've seen it numerous times and it's not a collector!
Yes. The Mossberg 500A1 is a .12 gauge shotgun.
60-100. 100 if perfect.
I own a model 150C that my father purchased for me when I was 12 in 1964.
