If it is rusting, it must be inexpensive stainless steel. If that's the
case, it wouldn't have been coated to begin with. Silver plated flatware
wouldn't rust even if the plating wore off. Few people use silverplate for
everyday service.

There are businesses that specialize in replacement flatware. You will pay
a big price even for inexpensive goods if they have what you want. I would
probably just look for some new flatware. If you can live with new Stanley
Roberts flatware, you can find it for sale he
