I inherited a 1913 Parker 20 double (which I'm having restored) & a hard leather leg-o-mutton case made by Diamond Mfg, Diamond Brand 547 28 (it's 28-1/2" long & 8-1/2" wide at the butt end). The case is in sad shape. A local leather smith / saddle maker told me that it is not repairable. She did not have the tools. I'm looking for a 2nd opinion / possible replacement.

Don't know what part of the country you live in but there is another very good leather repair/case maker named Kevin McPhail in Missouri who does outstanding work.

Can you provide photos to see if the leg-o-mutton case is restorable?
