Windcraft https://www.windcraft.co.uk/ sells replacement clarinet parts to numerous brands. Click on "woodwind spares"
Of course, you can always try any local repair people in your area to see if the have any junk clarinets that can be used to donate or fabricate a missing part.

The company no longer exists.
This company https://www.windcraft.co.uk/ might have it.
Click "Woodwind Spares", then "Clarinet", then "Boosey & Hawkes". You can email them at info@windcraft.co.uk and just ask what part you need and if they have it.
HOWEVER...
You still need a good repair person to put in the key for you. It is not as simple as changing the RAM in your computer. Each clarinet is a little different and if it is not done properly, it won't work at all.

To be sure you get the right keys to go with your Edgware depends on the age/serial number.
Up to approximately 100000 they'd have the early style keys (two trill guides, symmetrical C#/G#, etc.) and post 100000 they'd have the later style ('longer C#/G# touch, 'nailfile' LH F/C, etc.).

It's a '50s era Edgware (earlier style keywork) - the thumb ring, thumb ring pillars and the rod screw are missing.
Several springs have broken, but these are easy enough to replace with the same gauge springs (dependign on what gauge they are).
