This silver has been in my family since 1974 when it was given to my parents as a wedding gift. My mother has fallen on hard financial times and is interested in selling the set. In order to keep it in the family, I have offered to buy it from her at fair market value (NOT liquidation prices like she'd be offered from others).

Thank you for your help!
