I hope this was a typo, or maybe he meant Italian made, with LH (British) thread.

Italian fixed cups are right-hand threaded, just like Hillrider said.

My, my. That's... shall we say... "unique?"

Any chance of getting a picture of that cup?

Ok, Ok, I got it wrong. The fixed cup removed by turning counter clockwise like most bolts etc. My point was the thread had acquired a life beyond the original need and was moot - except as a breeding ground for fussing.

I got the BB out and the stuck stem removed w/o damage so I'm counting this a win. Thanks for the help / advice.
