Hard to tell, but it looks like a campagnolo mirage rear derailer.
Campagnolo does sell the parts individually, but as it is a discontinued
product line,
they are fairly cheap to replace.
Should be about 30 bucks new on ebay.

Sorry to hear about this Joe. That ride through Leucadia is always

south through Leucadia I head up to Neptune and go back to PCH in

I took the Bombdil out for a quick loop through Wildcat Canyon. I
