Good luck and I'm sure you will help him find the party to repair it. I know your client is probably aching and agonizing badly over it. What a nasty Halloween scare.
That is a nice family heirloom that I'm sure was well taken care and then to see that happen. I agree at first take that it does not appear to be from recoil. Maybe there was some hidden damage that weakened stock years ago and it finally gave way being kept in a super dry environment? Who knows. It looks like a some sort of a greenstick fracture.
Thank goodness there are some very skilled people out there that can work magic with some of these modern adhesives and repair processes.
BTW tell your client that one should get a Vurp Award.
