    EDIT:

    Highland military officers have long used a specific sort of sword-belt. It goes over the shoulder, having rings holding the two narrow belts that go to the scabbard, and a hook for hooking up the sword in high reversed position for marching. (Here's a new one from L&M Nova Scotia, it doesn't have the sword belt plate attached.)



    Here you can see the swords hooked up and reversed



    And a clearer photo showing the hooked-up scabbard with sword removed



    Or, you can get one of these things, I don't know what they're called but they have a clip to attach the the loop, a place for the narrow belts that go to the scabbard rings, and a hook to hook up the sword, reversed, for marching
