Engine dipstick problem

The dipstick never fitted properly, just located'on' the hole, rather than 'in' the hole. Previous owner had cable-tied it at the top.
Dipstick was very bent as well, and was hard getting it in.
Noticed a tapping on the dipstick, but too late, and now the end is missing! I reckon it must have been the crank?

I took the pan off, and found the bit of metal - but now have no dip-stick! (It's now too short!!)

I'm trying to get a replacement - how should a proper dipstick fit??

thanks

James
