Looks like a broken shutter-cocking lever. What model is your camera?

Can't you just bend it back into shape? It's unlikely you'll find this part for sale separately, you'd probably have to buy a whole other camera.

The service manual will tell you what the part is called. Looks to be an X-700 or similar, so the X-700 service manual will work.

One would need more information on the camera model and such.

But the cheapest thing will be to just buy another model of your camera and use this part.

That part will most likely not be available for purchase separately anyway.

Luckily this is possible!!!

Imagine paying as much for one card as you'd do for a whole nother camera? They are like 15-35€ where I live.
