Default Brass Door Handle

I have a brass door handle. The package insert said it would not

It always gets tarnished.

Has anyone bought a nice fancy brass door handle that does not tarnish?
If so, what kind is it?

Many thanks.

Only reason they will not tarnish is because they are coated with
lacquer. When lacquer wears off, tarnish appears (more quickly in salt
air). Can remove the lacquer, polish, recoat with clear lacquer or varnish.
