Stock cracks?

I'm also a "wanna be" woodworker. For cracks like that I use a slow-setting CA glue (superglue). The new Gorilla brand superglue is made to be flexable when cured. I use the wedges as previously mentioned, plus I push the glue into the crack with air. If the crack goes all the way through the wood, a shopvac will help pull the glue into the crack. If it doesn't, a gentle blast of compressed air will push it in.
 
Thanks for the pics, Catfish. Very sweet. That stock is beautiful. I love the shape of the forearm on these, they have a nice feel.

Here's what I found about Bridge Gun Co a while back: It was the trade name for Shapleigh Hardware Co in St Louis, MO.

Bridge was the brand name first used by Crescent Firearms Co of Norwich, Connecticut. Founded in 1893, bought by H&D Folsom. Folsom imported and distributed English, French, Belgium, and American made Crescents. 1890's to early 1900's. Bought by Stevens Arms in 1932.

Black Prince valued between $100 - $200.

If Catfish's shotgun also had the black paint, and the thing is called a "Black Prince," perhaps that paint was the original finish? (Ah, for the good old days, when they'd put nice wood like that on a gun, and then paint it.)

Thats how they did it. Isn't that something that they would cover up wood that nice. That is how all the black princes were.
