Hi Franklin,
We made these helmets to learn some basic metalworking techniques in our first year of Conservation and Restauration at university. Silvering and guilding was not done on these helmets (because that would have been too expensive). So we had to limit ourselves to iron and brass...
I got a lot of information after most parts of the helmets were already well underway. So some things are not correct, but the look is the same as on the originals.
Vale,
