For real specific questions, try www.doublegunshop.com/bbs, their "doublegun" forum has some guys who really know Bakers. And they'll want good pix of the "water table," the bottom of the barrel that locks onto the action and forend, also of the outside of the barrels to see if it is "Damascus" or fluid steel.

The forend will be hard to find and might require some fitting, but worth a search if the rest of the gun is good mechanically. Bakers were quality shotguns.

What guage is it? 12 guage will be the easiest to find a forend for.

Tell your friend not to sell this gun off for nothing as a wall hanger....even as parts it has some value. It's not a Parker, but it's a decent gun probably worth some restoration if you or he have a few skills and are serious part finders! Internet is your friend in that last regard.
