Just wanted to see if anyone could shed any light on this...

Found a Winchester Model 1897 in a little shop in Southern Minnesota while on vacation. It has F Barker carved into the stock.. The shop owner told(assured?) me it belonged to Fred Barker, but didnt really have much if any evidence to back it up.

Anything I could do to research this further? Its not going to ruin my year if its not legitimately his, but I am interested in knowing.

S/N shows it to be made in 1907

Obviously ignore the model 11 in one of the photos....
