Hi Fernando,
Here's some others with the finials bending in the same direction in relation to the blade's edge.

Hi Fernando,
Most of the examples I have seen are as you rightly say but the odd one or two appear to 'buck the trend'.
My Regards,
Norman.

Norman, all I can add is I think you are spot on with this one, and the style etching and stand of arms in general motif seems to also correspond to French examples. It seems like those flared out grip shapes are often on these as well.
