Mark,
In my photo, I show both styles of levers.
Yours is the late style.
The guns made from 1910 to about 1917-1917 used the late lever, but the early style V spring. After that is when the pocketed coil spring was used.
Personally, I think that repairing the broken lever is the best option since finding a 00 frame top lever from that 1910-1918 window will be a tall order.
