Hi Trevor,

    Though that chart on the SAS site is out of date, Thessco in England
    is still the best source in Europe, and I think the contact info for
    them is correct. 

    In the U.S., Stern Leach is now making it, and, as far as I know,
    Stuller is the provider for orders of the size most Orchid folks
    would make. 

    Here is a link to the web site, which  has some cool graphics:
    http://www.argentiumsilver.com/intro.htm You might try contacting
    them and asking for help locating a supplier near you. 

    In Australia, Tony Eccles makes some sterling that is not Argentium,
    but sounds similar.  I have not had the opportunity to try it,
    myself, but have met Tony, who is a great guy, so if I lived down
    under, I'd certainly check it out. 

I hope this helps!
