I do think that what many people do is to look at things and not realise, that in many situations they are looking at artists impressions of things. It's like many of the grave stelae that depict the soldier in his pose position hand on pommel scabbard pointing any which way the artist wants it to. Where Byron mentions about the sword being in the way I've come across many re-enactors who have said the same, however some are these silly people who put their waistbelt thro' a devided baldric strap.
