Sorry I should have said, I took it took a gunsmith he couldn't source the correct screw, so he adapted a screw to do the job. The screw is secure and the gun is now functional but it isn't 100% flush and obviously doesn't have the scroll work. I was hoping to find the correct screw myself. I'll try John Rothery Wholesale, if they have a replacement in stock I would be happy to purchase it through my local gunsmith. Thanks for the suggestions and advice :)

The screw ,if available would come as a blank with a large head and be over long . It would need to be fitted have the slot cut so as to line up ,be cut to length engraved and hardened . Your gunsmith should have been able to fit a new one that fitted flush ,whether or not you had it engraved would be up to you .

Thanks for the information :good: I had assumed the screws were generic.

Here in northern Ireland gunsmiths are pretty rare, so my choice is limited.
