Hi all,

Apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm wondering which way a coulter / couter strap should go - or if it even matters.

On some armourer's sites, such as Mark Vickers', coulters are shown with the strap running to the inside of the arm, rather than the outside, such as on the upper cannon / spauler and vambrace: http://www.stgeorgearmouryshop.co.uk/48901.html

Is there a reason for running the strap this way? Do other makers usually have the coulter strap running to the outside? Does it matter? What are the pros and cons?
