unknown thread pitch

Until you find out what that is, you have zero
chance of matching the correct fastener for replacement.
The 0.050 major diameter roughly matches a number
zero sized screw but it could be a special from the
manufacturer. If you could see how many threads per
inch, by counting the crests under a loupe then you
could find out if it were 80 threads per inch, a common
screw.

I'm not too concerned about the TPI as it is a brass screw of probably
foreign origin, besides it's broke off in another part. I'll really
probably need to either fab the screw or buy another lighter and
cannibalize it for the one screw. The "nut" it goes into is just a round
piece of brass stock that is threaded, cup style, not all the way
through. Which in turn is simply pressed into a small hole to hold it.

The real important part is the shaft. The shaft holds the striker wheel.
