I had the pleasure of speaking with David several months ago. I had purchased a very fine old DHE which was unfortunately very poorly packed for shipment to me. The butt stock was broken in half much like the above photo. Essentially David said that any broken stock could be fixed and would be stronger than new. However, unless the gun has sentimental value or is of a grade higher than a D, the cost can and probably will exceed the value of the gun. Based on his advice I chose not to accept the damaged shotgun and sent it back. However, I was very, very impressed with his knowledge and input. If I had a gun with a broken stock that was either sufficiently valuable or of sufficient personal value I'd not hesitate to send it to Mr. Trevallion to be fixed.
