It would seem that this sword when made (or mounted) was personalized for the owner’s right hand. Unless the person does a lot of back handed swings with their left hand, the angle in the photo suggests it would suit a slashing motion with the right hand like you would swing a bat. It would allow this motion without the person having to twist their wrist much to align the blade’s edge to it's intended target. IMHO.
