David Trevallion and Dan Morgan (Woodstock VT) are the only two guys I would let work on the stock of an English gun. Morgan did a butt transplant on one of my Husseys and the work is invisible.

The break in the wrist of the Purdey was probably the result of snapping gun closed with too much force. I saw the same thing on a 28 b Purdey. The wrist of English game guns is the most vulnerable part of the gun. Shoot 10's of thousands of rounds through them - no problem. But snapping the gun shut too many times and this is exactly what happens.
