Hi, fellow modellers!
I'm getting ready to work on this beautiful figure, but I need some information on where to place these three small elements, all the pictures I could find show the coat en face. Are these some hooks, straps, fringes?
I'm also interested in the way the saber is tied.
I will be grateful for any help.

If I didn't know better (and I don't), I'd say they resemble suspender clips. But I don't see any place for them as such on the figure.
 
Colleagues, you are invaluable.
It is now clear as day, indeed, that the trousers are without a belt, and there are three buckles, two in the front and one double in the back.

I will add that the one in the back will not be visible anyway, after attaching the coat tail.

This is how the saber should be mounted according to the manufacturer:

In my opinion, it's a bit empty here... Some clamps and fasteners would be useful here.
Found on Wikipedia. Is it legit?

Greetings, Marcin.
 
I have read somewhere that Nelson didn’t wear his sword at Trafalgar. It was found in his cabin after his death and later presented to Lady Hamilton.
So if you wanted to model Nelson at Trafalgar you could always leave the sword off.
