Purdey of London sometimes sent their worst broken stocks to David Trevallion. David apprenticed with Purdey when he was a teenager and worked for them for fifteen years as a stockmaker completing every step of the butt stock and forend to the finished product.
If that one is broken to pieces, make sure your friend finds all of the pieces so it can be put back together again with no evidence of a break.
