The red oxide that you can see deep in the finish almost takes a magnifying glass and intense light to see in most cases.

When it aggregates and you can see red spots, particularly with the unaided eye, it may be in the process of starting pitting.

I am of the group that uses a grease to the hard friction areas(toggle train to receiver, etc.) and a good oil to the lighter friction areas. I run my Lugers well lubricated.

I use TW25b for the frame/toggle areas(grease), and Outers or other good gun oils for the areas needing a lighter lubrication.

I have been using Hoppe's #9 for more years than I can remember. I have tried others, but never felt that they were any better than Hoppe's, and they lacked the fragrance!!

I used to love the smell of a paper shotgun shell that had just been fired. I believe that they were Monarch Brand.....but maybe not.
