I just bought my first M1935 armor officers cap, 1941 stamp cap everything is perfect. What is the best way to clean off the dust or is better not too.:thumbsdown

Such an old cap, I would be too scared to attempt to clean it.
But either way, sounds like an awesome prize, you should post up some pictures. :)

If it's just dust, or dirt a good brushing, or even a light vacuuming would be in order I'd think. But let's see what Doug or Patrik would do.

I do not own such old caps... my collection is postwar and those can usually take a brushing with a soft-soft dust wiper :) I would perhaps use a combination of a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner on a distance.

Yes, please post here now that you are into uniforms!

May I ask if the Tank officers visor came from the same source as the 'NKVD Border Troops' tunic?
Look forward to the photos.

to dust-off your old caps use a little vacuum cleaner like the ones that you would use to clean your table from crumbs. Obvisouly, I am talking about a one time procedure.. you should not leave your caps "out in the open" where they accumulate dust, but instead design some kind of covering system.

Would still love to see pics.
