Broken 10 ga

Do not see any but cement covering surfaces ,it does flake off to a fingernail test so not a good bond.This stock is probably a replacement done at an old redo of the gun.This is apparently the 24th hammerless parker made. A repair of the type done with a fillet reinforced glue joint as described in Shotgun Technica (Trevellion and McIntosh) has been suggested .

Btw,the water table does not have the "E" stamp of a 10ga grade 2.I guess this is before they stamped letter grades on hammerless models.
