COLT 1860
A friend of mine was given from his grandfather's estate, several firearms including Colt 1860 revolver. It is in wonderful condition in every aspect. His concern is long-term storage. What is the best manner in which he should store the firearm? The obvious would be to ensure that it's kept dry & oiled, climate controlled environment etc. But what about in a case/not in a case. I have heard people say that you should not keep guns in cases for long periods of time and others who oppose that concept. With a item of this condition with the potential history & value with it, really leaves no room for error.
All suggestions are appreciated.

I just purchased a group of guns and am interested in determining the value of a 45 Cal 1860 Colt revolver. It has a six digit serial number, an eight inch barrel, and in very nice shape. I don't believe it is a replica due to the Colt Patent. I don't know much about this item and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks BillV 0 -
definately not in a gun rug if he lives in a humid climate--better are the gun sacks impregnated with silicone. In a safe with dehumidifyer is better.
Cabelas and I'm sure other places sell them.
