Tensho Posted November 17, 2023 Report Posted November 17, 2023 I picked up a 1883 navy. It has quite a lot of verdigris on it and I'm looking at disassembling it. But, I'm not sure if the "cherry blossom nut" is clockwise or counter clockwise threaded. I can turn it by hand about an 1/8th of an inch counter clockwise but it won't Go anywhere beyond that. I don't collect these styles so this is beyond me. Thanks. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted November 18, 2023 Report Posted November 18, 2023 Hi Matt, there is very little value or reason in taking one of these apart. The wire wrapping in particular is rather delicate and easily broken. Quote
Tensho Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Posted November 18, 2023 I would agree. Was only looking to take apart to clean the corrosion that is in some tight spots. But, in the process I may damage the nut way to much. Quote
