    eBay here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=GOLD+PLATED+SOLINGEN+FLATWARE+SET quite a lot of it and you might be able to identify your set. Note there's not much of it selling and the high prices being sought may not reflect what can realistically be expected. If you are in Dublin, Weir's of Grafton Street http://www.weirandsons.ie/ may be able to help out. :)

    Weir's wont buy the set or anything like it...they specialise in high-end collectable and antique silver,especially manufactured in ireland.

    The OP might have better luck attempting to sell it privately via adverts or donedeal but 24k plated cutlery usually looks naff and doesnt sell very well IMO.

    Sorry, I should have made it clearer, I wasn't suggesting that Weirs would buy the cutlery but that they might be able to offer some advice as regards value.

    They might,but i doubt it..they are notoriously unhelpful when it comes to common or garden items like this.

    +1 I seriously doubt that Weirs want to get the name of being a permanent offshoot of the Antiques Roadshow on Grafton St. OP could expect nothing but the cold shoulder.

    Not been my experience of Weirs but that's neither here nor there. Realistically, the cutlery is not of great value and eBay or a Google image search will produce an idea of value.
