It would help a lot if you would tell us what country you are in.

To answer your question though, any shoemaker should be able to do it. You can ask a seamstress shop for any tailors in your area who can handle that stuff.

Drywall screws are very strong . An experienced saddlemaker doesn’t get repeat business by using inferior materials .

Well
I guess the rust makes them drywall screws even stronger

Just disappointed in paying that kind of money and discovering drywall screws

I would of kinda expected brass screws from such a fine workman such as them
