Thanks for the picture and the account of the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident," as well as the fighting philosophy of this weapon; I suspected that this could be the case.

the Photo of the dadao carry looked odd to me. Hilt over the right shoulder looks better....

Look at the rifle bolt, the original posted photo is the right way round.

Correct. the Original photo is right way around, I still would prefer the hilt over the right shoulder tho.

It seems to be optional.

p.s. - Viet DaDao tend to have very abbreviated guards (and decorated blades).
