Found out a little while ago that P1999 uses some funky script logic when it comes to giving pets items. It appears there's a hard & fast rule that if an item can be held in either the primary or secondary hand AND it has an AC rating, it gets dropped into the hand slot regardless if it's a actual weapon or not. I can give my pet two Swords of Runes, complete the trade, and then hand the pet a Coldstone and it gets shoved into its off hand and will be holding a bag graphic and one sword.
I swear that I'm not going crazy in that I sharply recall just dumping 2 swords, a coldstone, and a ring of flight on a pet on old retail servers and the pet would hold everything correctly. Was only slightly depressing. I don't think a pet can ever have a range slot item with this code as long as the item has 2 or more slots it can rest in.
