Keri, it would help to know if your husband's gun is a Featherweight or Regular weight. If it has FW and then the serial number it is a Featherweight and an R serial number would be Regular frame.
The reason is the screws on the Regular frame are longer.
The cocking plate screw is 4-40 threads and is 1/4' long round head that can be purchased at a decent hardware store.
The for-end tip screws on the early guns about 1" long, on the later ones, about 3/4".
The top tang to trigger plate housing screw is a tapered shank screw, but the head is slanted to the shape of the top tang and the screw driver slot should be orientated to the length (barrels).
Drop me an email and I will look and see what I might have. A few of the top tang screws are old and the slots are "buggered".
