Silver Matador with Red Cape (painted cape)

Description

Got it out of my 95 year old grandmother in laws house. Mother in law though it came from Mexico or Spain in the 1960's but can't remember. It was dirty and tarnished unsure if it was silver so we cleaned it with baking powder and water and it cleaned up really nice has a very nice shine now. The cape is also made of metal but is painted red. It looks like he had a sword but it broke off or was removed. Hangs on wall.
