DUST!

doomula5000 · 01-16-2010, 05:57 PM

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. :)

Absolutely...

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.

I agree with Richie, I've seen that stamp on so many fakes and reproductions...I even own one! :P
