If I owned that gun I would be looking at it so much I’d miss every bird! The shells are the perfect Autumn color.

Wow Stan that gun is really over the top! It looks to be a 12 so how long are the tubes? Like Jeff said bring it to SD and I'll bring some ammo that should work if we are lucky enough to find a rooster.

It is a 2 barrel set, 28' & 30", both Damascus. It is a 12 gauge, hardly big enough for those SoDak roosters ![]() |

Thanks for the correction Dean,
You are correct on the engraving being Joseph Loy's work, I guess I was confusing him with Jay Leech. Scott, only one of the Western shells fired for me, and that one had what felt like a 1 second delay, the other few that I tried multiple times, failed to go off. I was suspect of light primer strikes, so I tried a few Eley 2 1/2" that I had on hand and they worked just fine. Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I have a soft spot for these early Crass guns, on the higher grades, the engraving is just beautiful. Animals look natural and detail is just unbelievable. Stan |

I echo the sentiments of the others on the beauty of your new gun. I am not sure I would get past the engraving to look at the wood, but I am sure others would enjoy seeing pictures of the wood as well.
Congratulations. |

What grade is that Stan. A 5 or 6?
I foolishly sold a grade 3 Crass years ago,
