I believe Don might have had a "Harvey Senior Moment" and meant "Tony Colegrave" rather than what he wrote. If so, Mr. Colegrave did a superb recover for me of a pre-WW II B17N, complete with the proper oval stamp, etc. I sent him the frame and name tag, and it came back in its own good time, with the bill somewhat later. All-in-all, an excellent experience arranging this with him. I felt it was a good value for hand-crafted work. It was priced between the new production B17s and the new high-zoot Brooks saddles. Mr. Colegrave can be reached at tony_colegrave@hotmail.com (but don't try sending your saddle there). :-)
