ELG means it was made in Belgium Only those guns that were actually made in Belgium will have the "ELG" proof mark on them.
The name Elg does not have a commonly known meaning or origin. It could potentially be a unique or rare name with personal significance to individuals who use it.
The ELG says it was made in Belgium and the crown says no earlier than 1893. The mass import of shotguns from Europe (I'm assuming you are in the US) pretty much ended with the start of WWI, so probably prior to 1914.

Sounds like it could be a Westley Richards & Co. knockoff. Research Westley Richards guns and see if u can narrow it down. I believe the ELG is a Begian Proof Mark. True W. Richards shotguns were made in England. Howere, at the time there were 17 other registered gunmakers in England at the time with the name Richards. A TRUE Westley Richards will never have the first name abbreviated.
