For about 10 years, I restored old doubles. Finding screws is a hemorrhoid.
You might get lucky, check with Numrich.
I ended up having them made by a local machinist.
The other option is finding a parts gun at a show or shop.
Sorry, not much help.

If the other corresponding screw is still there so it can be copied, it shouldn't be too hard to make one - if you can find the correct die(?).
Just a chance:

I know a guy who used to dril out the screw holes and thread up for a more readily available thread size. He said it usually made for an easy repair, but often wasn't suitable for high class guns as it was hard to get a perfect blend of shapes and that there often wasn't enough meat available, but he got a lot of old clunkers shooting again.

Excellent solution, I have done that with a couple of Belgian doubles. The cost of drill and tap is nominal, and the old gun becomes usable.
