Stan: A very interesting gun. Have never encountered a Crass with Elk engraving on the receiver. I have a Crass Quality 3 and a Crass Quality 4 (both 1892) guns that are Loy engraving and this gun does not look like his work. I have a Crass Quality 5 and a Crass Quality 6 (both 1900 guns) that Walt and I are pretty sure are both Laythem engraved. Both engravers seemed to feature dogs quite frequently but the Laythem engraved Quality 6 does have a running deer/stag on the trigger guard that resembles the elk on the right side of your gun. The butt stocks on the Quality 3 and Quality 4 are checkered differently...the Quality 4 having a fleur-de-lis pattern.
