Gemsbok Skull Repair

Can anyone suggest a taxidermist in the US who may be able to repair a broken skull? My son's Gemsbok Euro Mount skull was broken in shipment a few years ago. I have sat down several times to look at repairing it and then think better of it because I don't want to make it worse. I think it is time to get it fixed for him and move on. The lower part of the left eye socket is broken out. One large piece that spans the entire lower eye socket and several smaller pieces to the front of the eye socket. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. As a backup plan, any suggested sources for a replacement skull.

Ship me up the broken one I can cut up and use for a shoulder mount and I'll send you a complete skull in return you can use for your euro it will just cost you shipping both ways. I don't need to have the horns take them off just put what you have in a small box and send it I'll ship back a good one.

Dennis,

Wow, thank you for such a generous offer.
May I contact you directly at The Artistry of Wildlife? I would also like to discuss mounting the new skull. Again, thank you.

Dennis,

As we discussed on the phone.
The skull on plaque is in the mail.

Thank You,

Just thought I would post a follow-up and close the loop on this post.
Just as Dennis had offered, he replaced the broken skull with a pristine one.
When I inquired about preparing and mounting the skull to the original plaque he offered to do that as well.
I've had the mount back for a while now and must say it is much better than the original.
I cannot thank Dennis and Artistry of Wildlife enough for their kind generosity.
His work is obviously of the highest quality and a very nice guy to work with as well.
When I have the need for more taxidermy work I will most certainly consider Artistry of Wildlife.
