A gun I just bought came with a really nice Leg O Mutton case that is in need of some repair.
I'm looking for someone that can professionally repair a couple of straps and replace the leather hinges.

Kevin McCormack usually places his business card in the Parker Pages. Maybe he does the same on the PGCA website. You can also google him. He does excellent leg of mutton restoration.

If you're in western Tenn you might take a drive to Murray Ky and have John Budgen repair it. He does some nice leather work. Sells quite a few leather handguards. Repaired a LOM for a friend last year.

Only shoe shop I've ever been happy with was Russell Moccasin Co. and I don't think they repair gun cases.
I'm looking for the guy that can repair it where you can't tell it's ever been repaired.
Jeff I googled his name and came up with this
JOHN W BUDGEN
Address: 1129 CLAYTON RD MURRAY, KY 42071 USA
Voice: 1-270-753-0305
Thanks I'll give him a call.

I have a different number. If your number doesn't work, let me know and I'll get you connected.

In my opinion the best leather work (gun related) being done currently is by Jim Wear. Jim just had an excellent article written about his work in Grey's Sporting. Jim can be reached at
307-745-0520.

I took one to a shoe repair shop and they put a hinge on but it didnt match the case well. I didnt specifically ask them to match the case. Thats what I get for assuming that a matching hinge was the only way to fix it.
