Hi Dwight,
Repairing the screw, I would try silver solder first, if that doesn't
work just replace it.
The horn repair, I would go with, cutting a matching piece of wood, have
a look at Leif Hansens' site (finding the right link is a bit hard at
the moment, as the menu's have temporarily gone)

A quick look at the EAIA directory lists :
William B Gregory & Co Albany NY 1850 - 1857 Their plant was called the
"Albany Saw Manufactory"
The mark on your saw matches the EAIA description
W.B.GREGORY&CO/ALBANY/CAST STEEL WARRANTED (name line curved)
As others have said, that handle shape is beautiful, nice lines...
Regards Ray
