They were in business 1900-1915, and at least some of their guns have Damascus barrels, which I strongly recommend not be fired.

There are no parts available for that gun, but a gunsmith should be able to make those screws if they have standard threads. The trouble is that the cost might be as much as the gun is worth which, unfortunately, is not much.
