Question about Taylor's & Co. 1851 Navy Open Top Conversion

[Virginia Gentleman]

This gun has a 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?

If you are asking if the "Brass" grip frame and the casehardened pistol frame will corrode where they contact each other, then the answer is, not a problem

Hasn't happened on my 147 year old 1860 Army (circa 1862)
Nor my three 30 year old + Colt (2nd Gen.) 2 Army's and one Navy....

    To have galvanic action, you need an electrolyte, ie:dirty/ salty water, weak acid, etc. Keep your equipment dry and you'll have no problem.

Hasn't been a problem for  'my' originals, either - nor my Second Generation Colts.

If it's nagging at you for some reason, put a thin wipe of grease along the contact edges, and rest well.

Vaya,

    How much galvanic action do you see between a lead bullet and a brass case? Only when it's stored in a damp place and over a very long time.
