So, who is responsible when a gun falls off a table at a gun show?  I was looking at a rifle one on a table on which a vendor had too many rifles piled in it and, you guessed it, one modern rifle clattered to the floor.  Somehow, no damage, but I wasn’t exactly going to reimburse him if their was as his table was not neatly organized.  Even if it was, I think that’s a risk you, as a vendor, takes.
  

I suppose that's why I carry insurance that covers my guns even away from home. Not sure it would cover this exact situation but it helps me feel better.

Doubt you'd ever hide the joint though but would be a cool challenge. I love a good project. Good Luck!

I'm thinking there's a really good chance the vendor wouldn't see it that way.  Frown

I know I would feel terrible if I was involved with a rifle falling to the floor, even if the vendor had cluttered his table up. 

.... I suppose it would be a way to get the price down.  Embarassed  Sorry - poor taste joke.

I know it's not a Winchester... but Winchester people know good stock repair options.   My friend had his Remington 40XB rifle knocked of the table at the gunshow this past weekend... the result was tragic.  Anyway, he didn't want to try to have it repaired and sold it to me... thought I'd ask here to see if there was a wood-wizard that was taking new patients? 
  

I think it's good news it's not a Winchester!
  

Maybe so, but I coveted one of those 40X in 22LR for many  years as I was accumulating various versions of Win M52's
  

I understand that.  And who am I to say anything as I'm not exactly 100% loyal to Winchester collecting.  In the spirit of full disclosure, I have some Remingtons here

]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:09:18 +0000 Onefish on Ulrich engraved 1890 https://winchestercollector.org/forum/general-discussions-questions/ulrich-engraved-1890/#p180095 General Discussions & Questions https://winchestercollector.org/forum/general-discussions-questions/ulrich-engraved-1890/#p180095 Looks like this rifle ended up selling for over $26K. That’s a pretty good price for an Ulrich engraved rifle especially with it being outright stamped. I believe the partial stamp underneath is purposeful. By tilting the punch to the left and then the right leave only a JU and an H is the Ulrichs way of telling you that both John and Herman worked on the rifle. A couple other points discussed in this thread were about sometimes leaving initials or marks denoting the artist. I would rather think it was every time in some form or another. In the case of the Ulrichs they left a lot more than a cryptic JU or an HU behind. With close study you may find that the supposed pitting under the plating is actually needling and acid writing done before it was plated. In some cases the failing plating or blueing overtop allows the underlying esoterica to sort of evolve and be more easily seen to a point. The different texturing of a surface makes light reflect differently causing shading that gives life to the engraving let alone the added amusement of the little caricatures and etc. The Ulrichs work is best viewed in an “off angle” manner to reveal their initials. They are worked into the scrollwork in a manner that is very complex and not likely to allow counterfeits.

Certainly looks repairable but I think your quest for a wood-wizard is justified. Good looking rifle.
