Flyssa with yataghan-like blade

Very interesting pictures. The first one has the flyssa thrust through the sash in a way resembling how yataghans were carried. The other one is less clear: is it suspended through a baldric or attached to the leather munitions belt? Since the first one appears a little staged, as I do not see any cartridge boxes, etc., which would normally be necessary for anyone using a flintlock rifle. The mannequin with all the arms and accoutrements on him is more intriguing.
