If cut the middle broken section off, and weld a good section on, it's possible to align the rifling. "Weimar Red 9" was reworked that way, looking into the bore, the rifling looks perfect. But the silver brazing line is visible outside. I bet today's technology can hide the lines much better, visually.

After repairing, It does not have to be presented as an exotic piece. It's a repaired pistol. Probably will cost a few hundred dollars. I would think that's better than simply replacing the whole barrel -- the number is kept. The only uncomfortable part is ... it's repaired. But it's already broken, isn't it...
