how about a picture

i assume the not unusual piece broken of the toe- but how big?

a very small missing piece could be sanded but you would need to continue the new line to the pistol grip ( tirigger guard on a straignt grip)

the bigger the missing piece the more effort to make this look right.

if you can find a matching piece of wood, smooth the broken area - peg and expoy a new piece of walnut. sand - stain to match. it may not completely disappear, but it would be more presentable than a poor reshape.
