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?

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.
