Hello Jens,
My point exactly. Either way, in the end, they would have been stunning.
I wonder if on the Vize the mask was covered in silver sheet and the bowl was just tinned. I do not think so since there is not ONE trace of silver material on that mask. Besides, the mask is connected to the cheek pieces and the ears so the entire things would have to be covered in silver sheet.
I think with the Vize its most likely the case that the entire helmet was tinned and then certain parts left yellow or possibly gilt.......I think its the former.
Cheers
