Very interesting Puffer, thanks for the link. Always liked those.

You be correct  

Think on the belt, on the Sword Baldric, Shoulder rigs or a combo of the above. Remember, these were WEAPONS & carried for preservation of the individual  no matter how "pertty" ( until later when they became "attire" in the "Victorian Times" )
