Never broken one of these before
In truth, I think it was broken when I got it, but after I unlaced the hub from the rim, I was left with this…

I had a D-A hub that broke in a similar way. Another member needed the cones so I passed it along to them.

In my case, there was not an axle or cones when the wheel came into my hands. Picked it up from a pile of castoffs at a shop that was changing hands. Grabbed it because it had a good Mavic rim. Only after I got it home did I see that it had a DA hub. Thought I had scored big time and then I found out the cost of DA parts. Finally decided to unlace the hub and pass it on to someone on BF who had more patience than I at locating the obscure. Hub is toast, but if anyone wants a FH that uses the TL 10, I’ve got one. After the Hub came apart, the FH turned off by hand. Go figure.

when I broke my 1973 campy crank (drive side) I was equally impressed with my burly cycling behavior and pissed at campy for making an inferior product.
Hubs breaking seem more a design flaw.

At a seminar given by a Campagnolo rep to a bunch of us from local bike shops in the mid-'80s, part of the presentation had to do with how Campagnolo USA evaluated warranty claims.
On the topic of their hubs, he said that whenever a claim is submitted for a broken road hub, the first thing they do is look at the spoke lengths and the build pattern. Most of the time, he said, it's clear that the patterns on the two sides are clocked incorrectly, with the spokes on one side inserted one spoke off from where they should be. (That is, wheel builders eventually get to a point in a build where they're wondering, "Why are half the spokes on this side too long and the other half too short?" and then say, "Oh, well; I can make it work.")
But if the hub alone is submitted for the claim, the spokes and rim having been removed before the rep gets to see the built wheel, they pull off the oil clip and look at the hole. "Campagnolo's factory workers do a lot of great work," he said, "but even they can't drill an oval hole!")
