Potzdam help

[SHARPS4953]

I just got a fair deal on a Potzdam smoothbore but the nipple has seen better days. Does anyone know the thread size for this?

Scott,

I don't know the thread size, but S&S sells repros for $18. https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AM111

Lodgewood also lists a repro for $15.

It is an odd thread for us here in the states. It is 8.5 mm diameter x 1.5mm pitch if I remember correctly. I made a tap some years ago for the nipple threads. I'm getting old and starting to have CRS syndrome.
