Dexter or Sinister?

The Left / Right sides of the fields are called DEXTER (Right) & SINISTER (left).
Usually all of the charges and ordinaries point 'Dexter', the same direction as the helmet faces, unless otherwise stated in the Blazon. You will notice that dexter is left as you look at a shield, but is in fact right, as if you were holding the shield on your arm!
