Thanks for reaching out to us. We're happy to look into this but we'll need more information. Can you upload photos of the balance including the shoes? What is the length of the metal channel? We may need more information and photos after that, depending on what you have, but we have to know what we're dealing with first.

The length of the balance is 29 inches, plus an additional 1/4 inch for the shoe, so 29.25.  The width is 1/2 inch.  
Please let me know if you need anything further.

Thank you for getting back to us. It looks like the top fitting broke off this balance. Do you have an undamaged version we could see?

I've added three more photos to show what I think is an undamaged top fitting.  Both balancers on this window appear to be damaged, but I'm hoping from the pictures of the two of them, you can piece together what it is supposed to look like and help me identify what I need to replace them.
Thank you.

Thank you kindly for the additional photos. Your balance may be a match for the S380-29, S385-29, or S378-29. The difference lies in the bottom shoe so you'll have to measure as shown below.

You may also need the 2840 stamp option based on your 28D stamp but you can always weigh the window sash to confirm it falls within the weight range. A pair of balances with the 2840 stamp can support a sash weighing 23 to 28 pounds. 

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.

The weight of the sash is 25 pounds.  The width of the shoe is 7/8".  Looks like the S378-29, 2840 option should be the correct one.  
Thank you so much for your help in this.  You have been highly responsive and helpful in working this out.
