Trumpet disaster

I have a wormy Chestnut convertible trumpet made by Alan Sentell. He made it for me in 2008. In removing in from my display case I hit the shelf above it and knocked it from my hand. I tried to grab it but only made it flip and land on its hen bone mouthpiece. It broke off fairly flush. I said some things that I'm glad no one was around to hear. I contacted Alan and he said he would fix it if I could locate another hen radius bone. We can't shoot hens here without a beard, but I have never seen one in the wild anyway. Are there any places to get a radius hen bone?  That was a perfect sound for this trumpet and hoping to locate another. I have some pictures I could text someone that knows how to post them. I've been trying to post them with no luck. Wrong format or something.  JPEG instead of Jpg.
Thanks for y'all's help.
