The rub is that water in the case (or shadow box) is detrimental to the metal of the revolver. I believe the natural humidity of Nor Cal will keep the ivories humidified without any additional help. A light coat of oil or Renaissance Wax on the revolver will keep it preserved while the ivory will be happy with the ambient humidity in the house. This is from an ex-mid-peninsula transplant.
