Nancy, Sam the USMC Armorer is giving you bad advice. He is a shooter and apparently a novice collector. You should do your best to preserve this piece of history. You are only a caretaker after all. It has fallen to you to caretake this and get it into the hands of someone who will continue to do so.
I appreciate the fact that you seem concerned enough to seek advice about it.
Good Luck!
