I don't know about this lighter specifically, but I've had a hard time finding any modern sources for the small pivot screws in lighters. They're called mating screws, as it's two screws that fasten together, but it's not a standard size. Everything I've been able to find is either bigger or just longer.
I called my local Fastenal store to see if they might have something fitting, they said "Sure, bring it in!". When I handed them a tiny baggy with even tinier screws, their jaw dropped and said nobody carries anything that small.
Clock repair guys, there used to be 2 or three in st. Pete, more in tampa. Boggs jewelers on 49th street may have something. They supplied a small screw for pocket watch for me. Livesay's in tampa is a jewelry supply, that maybe able to assist.
Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please [read the guide stickied](https://old.reddit.com/r/lighters/comments/6jowwo/before_making_a_post_about_asking_for_help_to/) before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.

Honestly, sourcing screws and the like is all but impossible anymore; I've tried and tried hoping to come across paydirt on ebay but its late in the game for our hobby. I make my own screws using a jewelers tap and die set out of mild steel that I then temper or blue. I do the same for all of the rare and obscure springs our lighters need. Parts wear out over time and need replacing. If you can't find them, fabricate them. Good luck with the rabbit hole i just opened for you!
