I have a Pedersoli rifle that was made in many calibers including .32, .36, .45 & .50, all having the same very large base nipple. The nipple and base is the largest for a standard factory #11 cap nipple that I've ever seen and it supports a type of direct ignition with a mule ear lock.
FWIW I didn't pull it out to measure it's diameter but it has very coarse threads, the threaded portion is longer and the flash hole is also larger than other nipples.
