At this point in time there is probably a good market for new-old-stock grip screws, but the cost of producing them (there are actually many variations) and advertising them would probably be cost prohibitive for someone to do as a business. No company is going to produce a box or two, they want to produce thousands, and someone would have to lay out a lot of coin for a slow financial recovery.
I myself have been looking for a set of replacement screws for a pre model 36 Chief's Special manufactured in 1951. This is a 5 screw model (actually 6 if you include the thumb latch SCREW, not the typical nut) and to make matters more difficult, I need this set to be Nickel plated! I have tried all the usual vendors, smaller shops, gunsmiths and collectors, but so far I have come up empty handed. In fact I have just about given up. I refurbished the original screws to the best of my ability and they do look OK, but I would still love to acquire an original set one day.
Getting back to grip screws, if you are handy you can make them yourself. If you scour the net you cam come up with a similar non gun screw of similar dimensions and remove the extra threads in the middle of the shaft. You can custom cut the length and polish the end. There are a few vendors who still sell #3, #4 and #6 Fillister head screws and as a last resort with a little patience and some hand crafting, a screw that is almost identical to a Factory grip screw can be fashioned. I have done this more than a few times, and I have posted the website where I have bought the screws from about a year ago. I can't remember the website at this moment, but if I do find it I shall post it again.
