"I'm surprised it was rusting to begin with. I was told by the seller that the widower's grand daughters discovered the 1911 in the attic and they had no idea it was even there.* Unless there was moisture in the attic, I don't know how it started to rust. I'm just glad I got a hold of it before it got worse."
There is moisture everywhere! Time and moisture = oxidation= rust on steel- just as merick said.
