How should I clean this up? Electrolysis? or just brush the dirt off.

Others will chip in who are experienced in restoration - sure wouldn't want that GREAT find to rust away.

Congrats on this find - love the old sci-fi stuff!

The Sambo gun is cast iron. What is the Buck Rogers gun made out of? Almost looks like die cast. Can you use electrolysis on die cast?

Awesome find, congratulations!

I'd be very careful on electrolysis.
my do more damage faster then the rust will

That Buck Rogers gun is made of pot metal. You might consider the pewter method of water and Elmer's glue. Unfortunately that pot metal just does not stand up to time very well.

or the molasses and water 1part molasses 6 parts water....will take an age. Molasses will start to ferment eventually. I think its called a chelator?

The O.P.'s find apparently shows rust on it. Have you ever known Pot Metal to rust?

That is a freakin amazing find... seeing it all tidied up would be very very cool.
