Just picked this baby up this weekend and wondering who the maker is?

 

J. Baker in Philadelphia, according to The Horse Soldier.

Still need help with the maker of this musket, Horsesoldier can not verify. Would really like references used to ID. The one on Horsesoldier and the one i have are the only 2 I've seen with these markings.

Heres the pic from horse trader.....

You picked up one exactly like it... ?

Here is one but the name J. BAKER is stamped on the side.....

Maybe they made different variations with diff markings?
