If the underlying material is copper, why not one of the ion-exchange instant silverplate
solutions like Cool-Amp or Caswell Silverplater? They deposit a very (one molecule) thin
layer of silver that might do the trick for a restoration. Caswell also markets
brush-plating electrolytic silver (and nickel, gold and a whole bunch of other metals)
kits if you'd like something more substantial.. (
