"This is not one of the really old ones. I check Ebay regularly to see how much they go for, and the vintage he has seems to go in the $150-200 range."
Given that the one you asked about isn't impressive in its current condition, wouldn't it be easier to buy one of the Cheds you've seen on Ebay in that price range (of the same vintage as the one your relative owns)? It would be a little more expensive but not so much of a difference if it might avoid the awkwardness of trying to get your hands on the in-law's Ched. You might even get something better.
What "vintage" is this mouthpiece from? I tried some (then) new Chedevilles back during the late 1970s and they were definitely not the same mouthpieces as the legendary ones. In fact, I think I still have one lying around somewhere that you could have if you wanted it, but I don't think you'd find it to be very impressive, either.
