What are the breaks like? If they’re jaggy and diagonal kinda think then decent wood glue and plenty of tightly wrapped tape to clamp it should be enough. If they’re more like clean square ended breaks where it was originally joined you have more issues. Could try and worktop joining bolt on the underside, plus glue. Any white / PVA will be fine.

drill small holes in the broken ends then add dowels between them and glue it back together.
Getting the alignment right is likely to be a right ballache, lol.

I’ve found the original 1930s handrail for my stairs in the basement. It’s snapped in several places and I am planning to drill small holes in the broken ends then add dowels between them and glue it back together.
Is this a fools errand and will never work?
If it might work what would be the best glue to use?
