Remington, CCI and RWS (Germany) have all made ribbed caps in the last 40 years and currently do.

From the 1840s through 1870s, after which time metallic cartridges vastly replaced the Percussion-Cap system, small ribbed percussion caps were made for pistols. I dug a capbox full of them at the Spotsylvania Courthouse battlefield. That exact same form and size was also used in civil war artillery Hotchkiss and Schenkl Percussion fuzes. So, I wouldn't discard this one as being modern-made. I don't think they can be told apart, unless there's a maker's-marking on them.
