The reason I mention that this particular weapon would have been carried in the hand by an officer, is that the one shown in the Feuge're book shows that the scabbard does not have any rings or other means of suspension.
With the one that I made for the late Douglas Arnold I fitted rings to be able to suspend it from the cuirass that I also made for him as can be seen in this link where the Eagle head handle is sticking out horizontal at his left side.

Here also is another link showing how he holds the Parazonium with the left hand.
