As a general rule of thumb, many contemporary Italian made muzzleloading rifles (yes, there are exceptions, think military muskets and shotguns for example) use 6-.75mm threaded nipple, while many Spanish made examples use a 6-1mm threaded nipple, again with exceptions. Many American production made rifles used 1/4-28, and again there were exceptions.

This statement, copied from SDSmlf really is the icing on my cake. First, your time and effort to put this together is appreciated. The one nipple size mentioned I haven’t purchased to fit is the 6-.75. It’s on my bucket list. Gonna try to get to a store and purchase matching screw before ordering Another nipple.
