Unfortunately I do not have any photographs of this detail on my computer.
The nut you speak of is reverse thread as you no doubt are aware. The 'barrel' of this nut goes through the chrome plated escutcheon plate at the edge of the door and threads on to the end of the door handle (shaft). Subsequently, a cadmium plated THIN round head screw goes through the barrel nut and threads into the end of the door handle (shaft).
An identical screw goes through the remaining hole in the escutcheon and threads into the door latch assembly.
I hope this clears up the disagreement 
Mike Kubarth

The end of the handle shaft is threaded. I do not recall the pitch but will look it up if desired.
The threads are reversed. In other words... "lefty - tighty, righty - loosy"
