Can You Crack the Case?

Today I spotted this lock and handle in a hall:


Lovely example of key scratches - notice the arcs on the wood?

Natural oils from hand reveal how the handle is utilized.

So, detective, I've provided a close-up of the handle. Which way does the door open?

    I don't have any empirical evidence to back it up, but I would expect it to open inward. ("Push" rather than "Pull.")
    Either way, we know that the latch is to the left, so the door is most effectively opened using the right hand.
    I'll take the answer ro this riddle offline.
