Needing a screw for a Type 30 Japanese Bayonet

I have a Type 30 Japanese Bayonet which is missing 1 screw and the thingy it goes through, but the "nut" is intact. Can anyone help besides any comedians asking why I need a screw for a bayonet instead of just asking for money........
 
I don't have that bayonet, but I think those parts shouldn't be hard to make. Take the nut out (carefully to avoid splitting the wood) and find a metric screw with the right threads at a hardware store. Making the excutcheon should be a simple lathe job. I would make a drawing of the dimensions and see if you can find something that can be made to fit, or talk to a machine shop or a friendly neighbor who has some tools. I honestly think a gunsmith would charge too much.
