brownells has something called "rust veto" in a little paint can that "does the job of cosmoline". The only draw backs to cosmoline it is a mess and it smells. It can be difficult to get out of wood too. But if I had to put something away for 30 years, cosmoline (or "rust veto") is it.

For leather I have heard Connelly's hide care talked about positively too. I would leave the saddle soap alone unless I was trying to clean a holster perhaps.
Here is a thread on mildew in leather with some good info.

The only problem I have with RIG grease is that they don't make it any more.

Also get a "gunsmith" screwdriver to use on the grip screws. It is very hard to bugger a screw with one that fits properly. You will kick yourself for not doing this earlier if you haven't already.

All the comments and ideas have been great. Men long to create or collect beauty, and being some of us barely got through high school shop, it is better for us to work on keeping a luger in good shape than trying to "improve" it.
