C96 bolt repair

The bolt on a C96 is broken. Not broken by me, it came to me in this state. Looks it has been broken many years and it's not mentioned in the description nor shown in seller's pictures. Partially because it came relatively cheap, I did not insist on returning it, so it became mine.... My spouse saw this, asked "Alvin, he's off-hook, who's on-hook? Tell me". ...."Well... as long as I am playing this, no matter how careful I am, I am part of eco-system, and this is almost avoidable. You should understand." (Kind of self-cheating. There are other issues besides the bolt, lost probably $400. Definitely not a pleasant experience).

To have this repaired needs not only skills, but also proper equipment. I don't have skill nor equipment, will send to a professional today.

Here is the "before picture":
