    To bad about the missing blade stop, I have repaired my Valet Auto-strop Brass C1 and it worked out OK.

    I do not recommend soldering it, What I did was use Marine JB Weld and formed a small piece of .005 brass shim that fits for the blade stop. There is not much pressure applied to the blade stops and I have been using my Valet Auto strop for over 2 years periodically by this method.
    You would use a stainless steel shim .005 inch with the JB weld if attempting I'm thinking.
    It is hard to see the repair but the strip runs underneath to give it strength on the right side blade stop. It must of been dropped or kids got a hold of it and broke it I'm speculating.
