Hi Igor,
You will probably get many different answers to your question but here's something we can all agree on, CUT HANDLING TO A BARE MINIMUM. I've been a serious Luger collector for over 50 years and my routine is as follows: 1/ Each new addition to my collection is stripped down, inspected, cleaned and lubricated. 2/ During this process I take lots of detail photos, like those below. 3/ I reassemble the gun and wipe it down carefully with a silicon cloth and then place it in safe storage. 4/ If in future I need to re-examine the gun, for example if someone asks me if 1908 Navies have numbered hold-opens, I simple refer to my photo file. 5/ I re-inspect occasionally and wipe down with the silicon cloth. This routine has served me well and I can honestly say that all my collectible guns are in as good shape as the day I bought them. Norm |
