I got a negative on Gfell, actually the son-in-Law and was given the name Bill Robinson in Michigan. Anyone have contact information for him?

That's rather surprising. Don has been around and doing this for decades, he repaired two very badly damaged spear tip Victor horns of mine and you can't even tell they were ever damaged (far worse than what you've pictured). Perhaps your negative came from someone with sour grapes....it happens, but I've never heard a single person say anything bad about Don or his work. Curious.

Like Sean, I am very surprised about the negative feedback. Don does excellent work, and is highly regarded in this hobby. I've spoken with him at shows numerous times. Some of the repairs he does are by their very nature, complicated and time consuming. He explained that some involved rebuilding the horn step by step which can take weeks.
Best regards ... AZ*

I had a horn redone by Don Gfell last year and it is the best repair I could ever imagine. He is by far the best choice.
