John is a little bit more reasonable in price. Doug is probably a little better in matching very old classics. Great-Great Grandson of D.M. Lefever www.lefevercollectors.com

That's an important question because not all processes were the same and not all smiths use all processes. For Parker-type colors I recommend Brad Bachelder in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Beautiful work, less expensive and much quicker turn around than most other competent smiths. Around the steel no tortured worm shall twine.

Some of the others mentioned above do adequate (sometimes garish) work but lack the subtle touch and tasteful patina of St. Ledger's work.
