That's a mighty fine rig John. A family heirloom treasure and a piece of history...
From your photos there appears to be some active rust on the safety bar that blocks the sear from movement. I recommend a gentle but detailed cleaning of the whole gun and intervention where that rust is concerned with some 0000 or 00000 steel wool tempered by some fine gun oil like breakfree... Then wipe everything down with it (except the grips and the leather)...
Don't store the pistol in the holster..., heep the holster cool and dry and stuffed with bubble wrap to hold its shape. Place some folded bubble wrap inside the belt loops to keep them from going flat. ANYTHING you put on the leather will speed up its age and deteroriation. Just keep it cool and dry...
The best of luck to you with this treasure... do your best to preserve it for your heirs...
