I don't know what the weight differences are but I think they may be slightly heavier. English bows often have them and a few makers here have used them. They are stronger I am sure but then again, I am not sure it's really pure silver. They shine more like an alloy, almost like stainless steel.
Either way, what ever the bow is, that's how it should be maintained and/or restored back to.
