::welcome:: to AAPK Wizzard! If you send a PM(private message)to Muskratman or Bill DeShivs who are both members here, explaining what you need one of them should be able to help you. There are others too who could do the work but their names elude me presently. You have a beautiful older picklock well worth repairing. Please be sure to post the knife once it's fixed! 8)

Welcome to AAPK. Either of these cutlers can repair your knife. As Mark said, contact them for further info. BTW I believe Bill is a factory authorized Latama repairman.
