Default Model 29 Presentation box restoration

First time poster here. I have an excellent condition nickel plated Model 29-2 with 8 3/8" barrel in the presentation box. Problem is the blue velvet that covered the inside plastic liner has peeled off over the years and needs replaced.

I was told some years back that there is a person here on this forum who does this type of restoration. Does anyone know who this contact person is? Please PM or email me with there name if you would. Thx!

Outstanding Thunder trap! I'll be contacting Mr. Cebull shortly. Looks like he's in Ohio also which is a plus.

If you live in the north side of Ohio we do a NE Ohio Bunch twice a year and it WAS TODAY. Watch the lounge every March and August 1st for the date. Look today in the lounge for it and Denny will have pics posted eventually.

Actually Mr Cebull comes to the group every time, just saw him about 4 hrs ago. Joe is a great person and has a good reputation for the work he does. Larry

Thank you for the invite Larry. I spoke with Joe this evening and will be dropping off my presentation case to him for a full restoration. Amazing on how fast this has transpired, and him living 20 miles from me. Talking about luck. The S&W gods are watching over me.......

Today Joe called and said my case was completed. Plus, he would be in my area and wanted to deliver it if that was ok? Pictures don't do this case justice! Thank you, Sir.
