I can see why you would want to fix it.Is it fixable the easy answer is yes it is.The hard answer is would you be happy with it and would it bring the same $$ as 1 without repair?
If you had a donor clasp with the same ends its an easy fix and will look great. I got some JB weld and some old sheet metal lets see if it hold

Maybe.

Dalton or Bob Ridley.

I've seen both work miracles.

The fix for that clasp is simple...any decent manufacturing jeweler can weld a spring-bar tube on the end...

But, it sounds like your buyer knows that.................
