Default Cracked Hammer?

The left hammer on the 10ga Watson Brother had been braised or welded at some time in the past. I shot my first 150 target loads through it at the Great Northern Side by Side Shoot this weekend and while applying the evening cleaning, I noticed it had again separated but is still attached.

Does anyone have experience with broken exposed hammers? Am I better of to re-weld, or replace, and if I do replace is getting a matching hammer made cost prohibitive? I should mention the hammers are engraved.

This only my second hammer gun and I have no experience with what will be entailed with this project. Thank you in advance for any help or info.
