Fly nut blanks and "swoop" relief on player side edge
Posted: Wed May 26, 2021 2:58 pm
Hi all,
I came into some NOS nut blanks apparently direct from Parker as they were closing up.
These blanks have flat edges, while on most Flys I have seen a "swoop" (for lack of a better word) relief cut into the player's side edge of the nuts.
Anyone know if this design, if present, was cut into nuts at the time of fitting as an extra flourish? Or did certain batches of nuts come out already with the relief pattern cut in?
I figure a picture is worth a thousand words. Here is a photo of a nut with the "swoop" relief edge I refer to, and also one with the flat / plain edge.
