foam stuck on luger

hello all

i've inherited a 6 in barrel luger from my dad 20 years ago. i was told its a naval version. its been in a foam case ever since he bought in in the early 90's. here is the problem. after all these years my buddy wanted to check it out so i took it out of storage. what i saw when i opened the case was the foam that lined the case has degraded and was stuck all over the luger. i was too afraid to clean it off as i didnt want to damage the finish. my question is how can i safely clean off the stuck foam off the gun without hurting it. my alternative is to take it to an expert if i have to. that could run into big bucks.

any advice would be appreciated

thank you
