Hi Jim,
Hope you don't mind an uninformed and impertinent question, but what are the reasons to believe (other than the seller's statement) that the sword is connected with the Ainu? I'm still trying to reconcile the two holes seen in the blade with the one hole (sorry, forgotten the proper name) in the plain scabbard, so that I can believe that the sword and scabbard belong together.
Can you enlighten me?
