Brass and Steel in guns?

[Virginia Gentleman]

I recently purchased an 1851 Open Top conversion from Taylor's & Co. that has a brass frame handle and trigger guard with a case hardend steel frame which I am wondering if "galvonic corrosion" could occur with these two dissimilar metals touching? Can oil or wax be used to prevent this from occuring or is there something I should use to prevent it from occuring?

Shouldn't be a problem - it wasn't for the originals...

Vaya,

I think it would only be a problem if it was stored in salt water.
