Brian, now that you have been docented through all the drama and "what ifs?", contact Dave Wolf in Waco, TX. He has performed some truly miraculous stock repairs, including a spectacular DHE of mine that cracked just like yours did, only from recoil, not being dropped. The 100+ year old Circassian was as dry as a matchstick and fractured on an oblique angle running just behind the grip cap up to and through the aft of the top tang. The repair is undetectable. Be patient and have it done right the first time; this can be fixed.
