When it comes to photography: don't give up your day job!
The damage is not overwhelming.
The forces are mostly in compression, so it would probably survive a
while as is. But it would be nice to make it good, I know.

Show it to a TIG welder who knows what he is doing. They can make it a
work of art. If it is heat treated section, the weld zone would
not be a concern for the compression stress.
