I found this dagger on the internet. It seems to me the eagle is looking the wrong way??
What do you guys think?

Right, left, big hand, little hand... I get confused at times.

But that comes from being left handed myself.

I figured this out pretty quick but hid my head in shame at my dumbassedness.

Looks like they used a heer cap eagle to make the mould. I have several of these cap eagles and they all face in that same direction.
