 at end of bar in sources

 at beginning, suggested by the editors

While writing , Chopin probably used a former convention, according to which a sign was put near to the middle of the range of its validity (in this case bars 253-254). This kind of notation is probably to be found in, e.g. the Etude in C major, op. 10 no. 1, bar 45.
