What is correct thread for S & W (5 SCREW) revolver side plate screw

What, please, is the correct thread pitch for the top large headed screw on a Smith & Wesson "5 SCREW" revolver?

I don't know the thread pitch or the part number, but it's the same screw used on the 22 auto Model 41.

The screw is called the "manual safety spring plate screw".

Kuhnhausen's S&W manual dosen't list screw
sizes. Brownells lists them but not the sizes.
If you take a brass machine screw of the same
size and turn it into the frame it will take
an imprint of the threads for you to measure.
Good luck!
