I have an older Belgian shotgun that had what I first thought was a standard 1/4-28 thread on its nipple, but checking with a micrometer and thread gauge, it actually measures .260 x 28 TPI. (Not sure what the metric designation is... )TOTW lists a .260x28TPI nipple, and hopefully that will fit your gun.
I believe they start at 1/4 28 but as they wear and are shot the nipple threads wear out and you need oversize nipples. My belgiam is that way. They sell the oversize at 255, 260, 265 and I think 270. I am using 255's in mine at the moment.
Mine work well and enjoy shooting it. The nipples are a bit of a pain to remove and replace after cleaning due to the configuration and angles. But mine shoots well with 80-85 gr 2f 1 1/8 for a fun boom!
