There are other options. Another way is to cut that "L" from a lever, and braze it on the base. But a scrap lever from early Mauser is hard to come, listed for sale at $150. And the brazing process still depends on a blowing torch which definitely will damage the finish on the other side. Any silver flowing into "m" or s/n will destroy the part.
For this one, they did not even cut the residual vertical part of the broken lug off. It's cleaned and melt steel is "poured" on it directly to the rough size and shape, then micro machine it. Just like Vlim and Postie suggested earlier. Experience aside, it's impossible to do this without special equipment.

I looked their tables and a few pieces of equipment. It's not unlike dentist. Of course, they are not working on teeth, but working on tiny metal parts
