DeMo180a,
Based on my having some exposure to metal work and finishing, You have received first rate advice on every single point including not storing it in the leather.
Some leathers have been and still are "vegatable tanned".
Hollis knows about a place near him that uses the tannic acid from Doug Fir bark instead of the harsh chromic acids that depending on how they are used could rust about anything.
Another thing leather does to cause corrosion is hold moisture in contact with steel like a plastic bag.
