Note on putting things into context; Possibility of red herring

| Sep 21, 2013 at 12:17 | comment | added | Elrond | @Vector First: I thihk, there were rules on this. At those times, there were many rules for etiquette like things (like how to lift your tricorne). There were also rules on when not to wear the small sword, etc. So I doubt that there were no rules on how to wear it. Second: Assuming you're right and there were a lot of variants (I can imagine that things changed), then a good answer could reference some more common forms and give some evidence on not so common ones or the like. I even asked for variants. And I highly doubt, that there are no sources on this. Just I am unable to find them. | |
| Sep 17, 2013 at 19:55 | comment | added | user2590 | I think this question is a red herring: We have no proof that there was any particular way of wearing such a sword: there may have been many customs, depending on time and place, and simple questions of practicality, convenience and social context that meant that it was worn in many different ways at different times. Consider today's backback or a womans's purse - sometimes on the back, sometimes the shoulder, sometimes held on the arm, etc. | |
