My memory is slipping

I recalled that I had picked up a 30" 16 gauge Grade 6 Crass. It is in bad shape, broken butt stock, some rust on the barrels, etc.

I decided any Grade 6 Crass is worth bringing back to some kind of respectability, even more so if it is a 16 gauge with 30" barrels.

I will post pictures later, the engraving is of the same layout as Wayne's Grade 6 and Daryl's Grade 5. There are some other features that make it really desirable in my eyes, skeleton butt plate, and the Damascus pattern is different than I've encountered on any other Crass. The pattern reminds me of the Parker manufactured laminated pattern.

Drew,
I look forward to your answer on the Damascus barrels.

Stan,
That 16 gauge is very similar to my 12 gauge. Sure appears the same ingraver did the work.
