Looks to me it has a nipple for a musket cap which would be correct for the firearm. My Zoil Zauave I run on #11 caps and a #11 nipple. The Zoil actually came with both nipple sizes when new. The Musket caps have a bit more authority when igniting but the #11 caps are cheaper. That said most of the time I use a #11 nipple and toy cap gun caps on all my percussion guns $1 for 72 shots is hard to beat in percussion.
