short / long term luger storage

hi guys , as a recent first time luger buyer, like most of us, its a gi war trophy. interesting on how so many lugers have stayed in great shape sitting in these old holsters. my own luger had a 1/2 inch of dust in the bottom of the holster that my luger sat in for who knows how many years, it is amazing that the blueing remained in such fine condition. the point i am attempting to make here is perhaps the perservative we are currently using on the holster may be the reason that the finish suffers. what do you think ..please post a reply, jon
