Wow. Can you just imagine what stories a gun like that could tell if it could talk??! Imagine the game it's taken.

Ahhh yes, the dreaded broken and replacement hammer screw issue raises it's evil head once again. If I were you I'd let the gunsmith who makes new screws remove the old screws. If Brad B is making screws these days, just let him deal with them. As for re threading the holes, I'm not sure they are a current standard thread pitch so beware of that issue. You'd need a bottoming tap also, or a ground off regular tap. It's unfortunate that the original screws are so small and break so easily; there seems enough steel in the shaft that they could be larger.
