have no idea where you might find them at, but from the looks of that part it doesn't look like it would be to hard to make a couple of them with some mill work and a file.
would probably need to be made out of something that can be heat treated or a dip in some case hardening powder done to them.

Thanks DA Im no gun smith and don't have a mill but I did think of that but was just seeing if its a off the shelf part

The one in the picture could be repaired but the other is beyond repair

Its a farmers gun and we all know how they like things to be cheap

From the photos I would think that part has been repaired before and it looks like it was too hard and a part of that one ear snapped off. Gunsmith is just a fancy word for people that work on guns there no different then working fords or chevy's same stuff different shape.

Now I like that idea and yes it does look like it's been repaired before

I would have ago at making one but know there will be not enough money for the time it would take me to make one.

I checked a couple of large gun parts supplier sites over here and although one of them carried Empire parts, they did' have that one so someone is most likely going to have to make it. The good news is that gun parts are fairly crude, and those could easily be made and fitted with a file and hack saw.

The farmers mum says it's a BSA so should be easer to get the parts over here

I can't say I have ever seen a BSA rifle or shotgun that wasn't marked as to the maker, and I've been a shooter for over half a century. Are there any Proof Marks on the barrels or the water table? If so then you at least have a probable country of origin. Then you can take it from there. Proof marks for various European countries can be found by Googling the same for a web search or photograph them so they are clear and post them here for an opinion.
