Well Chris went to a local smith to get an opinion.He has the gun now and assures Chris he can do the repair.So we'll see if not he will have it restocked.
Thanks for all the advice and info.I'll let y'all know how it goes.

The most difficult and complicated repairs on broken stocks that I have seen have been repaired by DT and Dave Wolf. Unfortunately, Trevallion is retired I have heard.

Dave Wolf recently repaired the wrist of an 0 frame VH 20 for me. It had 9 compound fractures both along the wrist, and across the wrist. I asked that the repair be done, and the stock and forearm match, but still look "age appropriate", as the gun has some provenance that I want to preserve.

The repair was utterly invisible.

With this, I fear we can bid another fine Purdey farewell...

I’m glad someone said this. There are 2 two stockers in the US that I would give any fine English gun, let alone a small bore Purdey, to work on and neither are “local gun smiths.” That’s like taking a Bently to the local shell station for a major repair. I mean no disrespect and I have no idea who the smith is but is a really bad (irresponsible?) decision.
