I found these MOP's scrounging around the internet a couple of weeks ago but had a heck of a time finding the right screw for them, which it turns out is a size 3 by 48 thread pitch and at least one inch long measured below the head of the screw. Good luck finding one. Supposedly a guy in Texas won these in a poker game, sans screw, and put them up for sale on Ebay. They are much more iridescent than the pictures show. Anyway, Mike Faires asked me to post a picture after I found the screw:

You're very lucky I didn't see them before you found them. Really NICE set of MOPs.

Nice going!

Screws will differ in their diameter-size and Thread count, according to the various Aftermarket Makers of the day.

One can have four or five different Pair, and find each is a different Screw.

And I am very glad you did, they look great, nice find.

My Dad verified these were on this gun in the 30's when he used to drive my Uncle's Dad around to collect for his hardware store in N. Texas.
