Ron, could you please check whether you can see wear suggesting on which side this piece was actually carried?

I assume the side you're showing is the front of the scabbard. I'd especially check the wood for signs of stronger wear from the tip on top being more exposed and (with a lot of luck) on the lower side from wearing in the sash. The silver fittings may also preserve some cues.
Regards,
