Would you mean upper or lower tang? As I recall, The modern Shiloh thread pitch are the same as the originals "as made in the USA". Jay Y. Hope this is what you mean.

The screws from the top tang to trigger plate are #10 X 28 tpi on originals and Shilohs.

If that 1863 is an original, you should try "Lodgewood Mfg." as he may very well have an original screw. I've gotten a lot of Sharps and Spencer parts from them and they have been good.
