If it's the style I'm thinking about, it has a "T" handle to lock the shut-off lever. I believe they were made by Wilcox-Crittenden with some Groco affiliation. Don't think Wilcox is around anymore. They can be reconditioned but they did have issues with the design years ago. I replace these with good quality marine ball valves now rather than refurbish. Try Beacon the site sponsor, they may have some handles in stock as this was a common problem. If you can't find a replacement locking handle and need to move the shut-off handle, loosening the three screws on the "T"/locking handle side will allow you to move the shut-off handle. Don`t forget to tighten the screws again.
Found this parts list, I think it`s the SV Series:

How about a picture of what you need? I just replaced all of the post-disco era seacocks on my Tricabin with fresh American-made bronze. The kids haven't melted all of them in the backyard forge (yet).

If I'm thinking about the right seacock, he needs part #1 - the wing nut in my link above.
