The second hand has a arrow at the tip it’s going to be a tough one to find. Check eBay for a beater one for parts. The MWR forum has a PX sells section there’s one for parts put a wtb ad it’s a military timepiece forum. I had a 1970’s era issued Hamilton missing the second hand kept putting ads there took a few years but some one there gave me a whole set of hands for it and made it whole again and did not charge me cool. Good luck on your search.

Try Scott McCoy, he can be reached via his website: Watchmaker Scott

Use the contact method, rather than relying on what he shows in his inventory.
