What we offer
Expert appraisal of your silver-plated metal at very competitive prices
At GS and Sons, the evaluation of your items in silver plated follows a procedure simple, transparent and fully visible :
Home & Inventory : we list your items one by one (type, condition, possible signature), to start from a clear base.
Silver-plated trimetal / other materials : reading of hallmarks and markings (silver-plated, plated, EPNS, etc.), checking of the brand and style, with verifications non-destructive if necessary. We separate what is good homogeneous of what contains non-metallic elements or other metals.
Weighing on a certified scale : the weighing is done in front of you, with deduction of non-recoverable silver-plated metal elements (inserts, blades, handles, screws, grips, wood, glass, resin, linings, etc.) in order to obtain a net weight actually usable.
You leave with a written and detailed offerIf you accept, GS and Sons establishes a bon d'achat (with identity verification in accordance with regulations) and proceeds to immediate cash payment.
We'll start by discussing things over the phone, and then I'll visit your property to appraise and purchase it for cash. I travel throughout Switzerland.

Tips for getting the best deal
Consolidate everything into a single visit This makes sorting easier and can improve the overall proposal.
Avoid aggressive polishing : keep the patina, do not use abrasives.
Bring everything that documents the play : boxes, cases, invoices, certificates, provenance.
If you can, separate them already solid tin and “mixed/plated” objects: the inspection will be faster.
Do not remove monograms or coats of arms : they do not negate the value (and may even contribute to the character of the piece).
