My father (who was a gunsmith decades ago) stopped by my shop today.

He brought an old rabbit-ear black powder shotgun with him that he has been working on for months.

It is very old and has no markings on it except ELG and a star stamped on the underside of the barrel. The stamping is less than half the size of a dime.

We are trying to find out something (anything?) about this shotgun. If anyone is familiar with the ELG stamp please let me know. Any other thoughts would also be appreciated!
