Ezekiel Baker (1758–1836)[1] was a master gunsmith from Whitechapel, London, who became known for his design of the Baker rifle in 1800.
Baker was apprenticed to gunsmith Henry Nock and opened a gunshop of his own at 24 Whitechapel Road, London in 1775.[1] He later wrote a book on his experiences when making and using rifles.[1]
