Just after a bit of information regarding how a sword was attached to the belt of the figure below.
The kit is an older Scottish Soldiers kit of an Officer of the Royal Scots Fusiliers circa 1890. I believe that Scottish Soldiers became Clydecast and still produce the figure however there is no image of the completed figure.
The kit comes with a flattened copper strip to cut two straps from. There is a relief cut in the figure's belt just behind the pouch (binoculars case?) on the left side where I think the lower strap goes, but could someone tell me where the upper strap runs to from the scabbard?
Would a sword be worn that loose that it could easily touch the ground?
Thanks,
Scott
