Oh Great Costume Guru! Any ideas for chain mail and silver colored metal helmets for Peter and his brother during the battle in Narnia?

hmmm... there is some "sequined" fabric out there that might make pretty good chain maille. usually stuck in with the halloween fabrics. it is a pain-in-the-a#% to sew however as the sequins are glued on and consequently make your needle a gummy mess. i will meditate and get back to you.

although those make marvelous chain maille, they are somewhat labor intensive and i am pretty sure mely would have to collect them for several years to get enough.

You can purchase a fabric called "metallic chainmail" which looks sort of like chain mail. You can get it at http://www.impalaindustries.com/prices3.htm
for $9.95 per yard but I think there is a 10 yard minimum purchase required.
