I know what you mean. I just picked up a 1890's vintage shotgun, cased, and when I opened the case, the first thing that popped into my mind was the smell of a old antique shop. I kind of like the smell, and the gun did have a little of the same odor. The case still smells, but the gun, well the gun smells like a gun again. I will set the case out in the sunlight and see what happens. All logic says the uv in the sunlight will kill the mold and it'll probably do the case some good to get some "air" as well.
