Thanks for the replies, but the thing that's killing me is that it was Dad's. Not even one of his favorites. But, he passed it on, and told me to take care of them. He did it when he figured out he was "slipping", and has recently been diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia, and is in a nursing home. It feels like I let him down, and THAT'S what's eating at me. The lube is Froglube. I applied it as instructed, and soaked the cloth in the liquid, then wrapped it up. The other three pistols, three rifles, and shotgun were prepared with Froglube as instructed, and they are all just fine. The only difference is that this particular spoon was wrapped in a microfiber cloth. The Commander that is my carry spoon sees the most abuse, and is exposed to the elements a bazillion times more than the Officer is, and no signs of rust anywhere. I have to think it's the microfiber cloth drawing moisture from the air. Again, learn from my ignorance.
