<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 866083, member: 25"]I once bought a 104 piece 4 kilos weighable set of German .800 silver flatware at auction because at the time no-one else seemed to have any idea about foreign silver (I had to buy another lot of mostly junk to get the lobster picks from the set as the auctioneers had separated them) and we kept the set, even bought a nice silver cabinet to keep them in, because they did not owe me much money, but that was the only large purchase at way below metal value I have ever found. Usually it is more like spend £1000 to make £50 on the metal.</p><p>I can just about imagine your feelings as you unpacked the treasure trove and cofirmed your find. </p><p>In your shoes I'd keep them and use them, but you may already have more than you can actually find a use for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well done indeed.
