I have major difficulty getting silver nitrate because of bureacratic
restrictions on general sales of chemicals. The cost too is way over the
top.

How do I make it easily ? I can get nitric, sulphuric, hydrochloric acids
and sod hydroxide readily and I expect silver metal. My basic chemistry's a
bit rusty but I still remember the basic of filtration & titration etc..

As Ware suggests silver oxide is there a quick route to prepare that other
than going through the nitrate ?
