This is obviously a pointless observation due to the owner of this rig could have set it up, and they are french. Is the belt rig set up for cross draw or is it set up with knife next to gun in a standard draw. Reason I am asking, i read an article in either Old West or True West magazine discussing the topic of 1800's folks carrying their knives next to their guns and not on opposite sides. there were photos that showed some same side knife and gun carry. just interjecting a little wonder hear.
