F.P. Baker & Co. 12 bore BLE.

A straight stocked Birmingham boxlock ejector built for rising birds, but deadly on doves and anything else that has feathers. 28” barrels, 2 ½” chambers and a gorgeous stick of wood, which is original. Smells of birds, whale oil and wet dog. A turn of the century boxlock that still sees opening day of dove season, the woodcock migration the leaves changing every fall and the grouse wintered up when the ice and snow gets heavy; if guns cold only talk.
