broken breech block

I messed up mu luger when I think I had a .380 round in the mag when I ran a few shots. The firing pin moved backward with enough force to break the block at the rear where the pin spring is retained. I thought it is an area where I might be able to braise a small lip to retain the pin without danger of losing the heat treat. My luger is a 1915 Erfurt. It has a hand stamp on the front of the grip... HP 1.4.36. It is a shooter and was a good one. Maybe someone there has a spare block. I certainly hope so. I will miss my luger. I carry it sometimes when I hunt feral hogs.
