Broken Palm Key -- replacement?

Hi, I inhereted my grandfathers King Zephyr Tenor Saxaphone. I believe it is from the 1940s or 50s. It is in extremely good condition except that one of the palm keys is broken in half with the palm half missing. I know it may be impossible to replace, but I am hoping someone might have some suggestion as to aquiring one or a place that would make a decent replica key. The sax is otherise in perfect working order.

    Just have a tech fabricate the missing end and silver solder it to the rest of your key. I do it all the time. Done properly it's as good as new and virtually undectable.
