Hi Linda,

We used to use gun oil then sealing in plastic bags on our collection to
keep the shells from fading.  The problem with this is that over the years
it leaves a gummy residue on the shells and you need to clean them again.
Another collector told us about WD40 and it does work great.

Thank you
Robert
