Any pre war N frame yoke screw and usually any from prior to 1988 will work.

Recognize any screw used for the yoke screw may need fitting to the groove in the yoke shaft. If the screw won't go all the way in or the yoke is tight to open and close with the screw installed, the tip needs to have the un-threaded tip diameter slightly reduced to fit the yoke groove.

The side plate screw behind the yoke screw is the same size screw and can be used but may also need to be checked/fitted to work.
