C Baker Lock and Rifle
« on: July 09, 2020, 01:15:13 AM »
Impulsively bought this one this morning.





























When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?

Nice back action rifle.

What is the signature on the barrel? The photo is somewhat fuzzy.

It’s so worn I cannot make it out. I’m gonna try to take a better photo and see if I can enlarge it.

These are the best I can get. Any idea the era of this rifle? I’m guessing 40’s-50’s
