It sounds like you might have to warm up a lathe and turn
them out yourself. Panhead and slotted is the easy part.

Make a few dozen extras, and you can offer 'em on eBay to
others that might want to do restorations.

That's a last resort. I'm no machinist, but I'd give it a shot if I
have
to. If I find a way to source these, or make them, I'll definitely
make
some extras.

Being you said they were for the grips and shouldn't be important
safety wise...

I talented weldor may be able to tig over the screw head. Then you
could cut a new slot in the old screw. I was thinking to turn/clamp
the
screw threads in a heavy block of steel, maybe cast iron to suck heat
away from the thread portion and then tig, reform the top. Maybe use
stainless filler rod?

Hopefully some of the tig wizards in the group will chime in if they
have tried anything like this or not...

The heads aren't that much of an issue. A few are burred, but can be
dressed with a file and re-blued. The immediate issue is an otherwise
complete gun needing one (1) screw. Well, that and a recoil spring, but
I'm working that with Wolff

Llama used an oddball proprietary thread on those screws. You will not
find
a box at the ace hdw.

Now, why would that not come up when I searched on that? I am not sure the
III-A are the same, but I'll order a few and see.

Thanks

I also saw some guy selling stainless ones on ebay
They looked like cheap cheeseheads, but I think it was $9 for a set of four.
