Should be a number 10
Toss up on 10 or 11’s. My Uberti takes 11’s but nipples aren’t original. Most will take the 10’s unless someone has changed them. I have been slowly changing all my replica’s over to 11’s as I am trying to have the same size caps on pistols and rifles as I don’t like using different sized caps. I have about 800 #10’s left and a few sets of 11 nipples ready to change when I run out. I have a few different replica pistols from 31 to 60 caliber so can be a pain if you forget to bring both cap sizes to the range.

Number 10 is a nice fit on my original from 1862. Number 11 is loose- will work but may be in danger of chain-fire, IMHO.
