Hello,
If i was you, i would sell the all set for a fair price, without forgetting to let the buyer know about the 'bad points". Some collectors don't care about repairs or fake markings as long as the base is genuine...
Thanks

ok that seems like the best option then i think. how much should i sell it for, any ideas, thanks

Hello,
it's always tough to give a value for items that have been touched, repaired or enhanced with fake markings. IMO around 120/140 euro for the set would be a fair price for someone who can't afford an untouched set at 250 or 300 euro...
Thanks
