I am interested in learning the best repair too, james. I have a Perazzi case that suffers from the same ailment. It was originally secured with a brass rivet, but it pulled off several years ago. I still have the strap, but to install a rivet now would mean it would have to penetrate the leather cover on the underside of the case, I think. I could send it to Kevin M., but would rather repair it myself if possible.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
