Regarding the hair on the scabbard, I actually have seen hair on them like this before. Leave it alone since it is part of the actual manufacture.
On the hilt, well, I guess you could also leave it alone since it is later, but not too late. Part of the working life of the piece? (unless you know of someone who can create a carved hilt for it, but why not leave it as is since the carving is good on it.).
