AC Handle Pole Repair or Replace?

My handle pole was recently dented badly from another rider running into my ski. I was practicing nose stabs and a friend of mine came up on me quickly and ran strait into my handle pole. Luckily I didn’t get hit or it could be much worse. It was really neither of our fault so at least we are safe. Anyways I think this handle pole is an older AC because it has a different finish and quality to it. We recently ordered 2 different handle poles from AC and they aren’t the same as mine. The craftsmanship on mine is much better and the welds are smoother and it has a plate on the back where the cables are. The new handle poles are just flat and look very basic. Is it possible to repair this dent or will I have to get a new pole? This one still works fine. I’ve been riding it for a month this way.

there were 2 or 3 different AC poles.
the RRP AC and the standard AC.
easy way to tell the difference, the RRP had thicker tabs that the chin pad mounted to.
there were even some that were open with windows on the under side
.i just saw the pix and its a square nose.
you should be able to pound that dent out somewhat from the under side.
either by cutting an axcess hole or if its open.
i think MMF made old SN poles before they became AC racing

Do you know if I can still get a replacement that has the same shape as this one? I’ll get what I can but I was just talking about how much I like the way my pole looked and 5 minutes later, wham-o.
