Nipple size for Pedersoli Le Page Pistol

[Zerstoerer]

I have an old stock Pedersoli Napoleon Le Page pistol in .44 caliber.
The Nipple needs to be replaced since it is to fat to accept #11 caps and the hole seems to be off center.
Can't find any information on the Pedersoli website about the nipple size.
Looks like it also needs a special nipple wrench?

Please help, match coming up...

you might be able to file the nipple to a smaller diameter if you want, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

The nipple could be the 6 X 0.75 but check with a vendor to be sure.
Dixie Gun Works sells the LePage pistol and should be able to supply the nipple and a nipple wrench that fits. Give them a call:

Thanks for the replies, I got this answer today from the importer:

"The nipple size is 1/4 28, and you have to use only the Pedersoli ones as they are longer"

I could get some T/C nipples and see if they fit...

Since time is of the essence, if you measured the height of the cone and called Blomquist maybe he can help you out. He should also be able to compare its size to the TC nipple for you.
