You wil have your work cut out finding parts, your best bet would be to find a donor movement. It is a vintage pin lever escapement and in my opinion not worth spending to much money on.

Have a few Brac movements . But not sure that helps. Or if it's even a brac 37 . Looks like you movement is missing a lot of vital parts. Pin lever movements are not the funniest movements to work on either. I would dig it down somewhere in the garden

Get a complete, working mov.t for that. This way once you take it apart, put it back together and it still works you'll know that you have a done a good job, not depending by unknowns factors.
