Store WWII Luger in Holster?
 
What are y'all's thoughts on storing an old Luger in an original holster? Not talking about daily use as that would certainly rub the finish, but what if it just sits there? Seems reasonable that many Lugers were once stored in their holster for decades by some WWII vet. Anyone with first-hand experience witnessing the result?

Generally not advised. The acids in the leather can eat away at the finish of the Luger while stored. Would recommend a silicone impregnated gun sock like a bore store for the Luger.

Thanks for the recommend, HerrKaiser. I'll see about getting some gun socks.
