Federation window sill repair(possible?)

Howdy all

We have a Federation House in gloomy* downtown Sydney, built circa 1915-16

It is pretty good nick except the front windows and expecially the sill. The photos tell the story

The window faces north and thus gets blasted by the sun all day or most of it and it is pretty weathered - wasn't good when we bought the house. On the last paint (outsourced) the sill was puttied up and painted - looked good for a bit but then reverted to what it looks like now.

essentially what is the best way to repair?

I could bog it up but my experience is that there is still movement between bog and wood, and cracks and then deteriorates over time.

Can I replace the sill or ar least the grotty bit? Seems almost impossible given how these windows are made.

Or should I just replace the whole window? (aluminium is not an option)
