Anton - correct (unless you're left handed!). Same as a rifle. The non-dominant hand is on the barrel, the dominant hand on the trigger.
I'm not suggesting that the wax engraving would introduced a mirror image, unless some sort of impression was used (which is very unlikely). Simply that this was a possibility for permitting the copying of the VMS from a source which wasn't a book, which was the question I understood.
Unless the wax engraver was the one who was left-handed? We know the scribe wasn't. There have been a number of suggestions throughout time that elements of left-handedness exist in the VMS.
