Without measuring I wouln't try and guess. Take it down to your local Tool & Die maker and get him to measure it for you or order in an end tap of each size and DIY. The expence of the tap is not a loss as they can be used to "freshen" up the threads at a later time.

Along the do-it-yourself line, you can take the nipple to any good hardware store and match it to a nut that fits, in the bulk fasteners section.
The die is not a bad thing to have, but this way you only buy one.

Owning a thread gauge is not a bad thing.
I have a Armi Jaeger Zouave with 8mmx1 nipple and a Armi San Marco Enfield Musketoon with a 5/16 x 20 nipple. Neither one of them are what is considered standard sizes for muskets so measuring to make sure is a good thing. I have both metric and SAE thread gauges like the one pictured here
