Have you seen a Pathé crank like this?

This is a Pathé tabletop model 50. I have not been able to find a crank for it. I've checked with all of the leading parts suppliers from Michigan to California and they've never heard of a Pathé crank like this. So, have any of you seen one, or better yet, have one you're willing to sell.

Never saw a motor which requires such a crank...
As the motor is not a Pathé one but Swiss made, you might inquire for a Thorens or Paillard crank (?).
Attached scans of an unidentified crank which has some similarities (as you can see, the extremity of the crank has been twisted by a previous owner).

Did someone switch the original motor out? Everything lines up and there is no evidence that anything else was there. Now I'm really confused.

The necessary crank could have a hole in it the size of the split shaft with a pin that fits into the split...
