Cape gun........

A sxs with one shotgun barrel and one rifle barrel is generally referred to as a Cape Gun. Not a lot of them were made (in this country, anyway) as the task of regulating the barrels so that they shot to the same point of aim was very difficult. If you really want to get the broken hammer fixed, look around for a gunsmith that makes muzzle loading rifles. He/they should be able to replicate the remaining hammer. Won't be cheap though! Nice rifle, I know that you are proud to have one that has been in the family for so long. I tend to agree with Targa911S about putting it on the wall and enjoying the memories!
