Agree as well; I have always wondered what happened to .410s with stock head repairs. Perhaps a blow sideways (e.g. banged a tree trying to swing through a flushing woodcock, slipped and fell in the rail skiff trying to brace his fall, etc.).

Thanks for the replies. The suppositions offered are exactly what I surmised. FWIW, I have a very early DH that was pinned at the stock head, and otherwise in really rough shape when I bought it. Brad Bachelder restored it, including adding some sort of glass/wood overlay magic (similar, I think, to some work Brian Dudley showed on the forum a while back). No one I've shown the gun to can see the restoration -- it's flawless. What I see on this .410 is not.
Again, thanks for your responses. They are helpful.

Do you expect perfection for $23,500.00? Give them a break.

Yes, a cheek veneer. It is a shame it was not carried all the way to the action as other than that it looks great. It would have been a perfect invisible repair if they would have. One can only wonder why.?

The grain match is not all that good either.

The description leaves a lot to be desired "...wood refinished..."
