Can my horn be saved?

Hi all! I have a repair issue: This afternoon while I was practicing, my ancient but trusty E11 suddenly became unresponsive. When I examined it a section of the key work from the upper joint, including the ring over the D/G hole and the extension that crosses the tenon between the joints, fell right off into my hand, leaving a long sharp bit of blue spring protruding from the keywork that was still attached.

I didn't find a screw or see a place where it could have been screwed in. Did it simply break off? Anyone know whether this is a reasonable repair job or whether I have an excuse to finally start shopping for an upgrade? Money's a little tight right now, but I can't go very long without my clarinet, so either option works for me!
