If this software is relatively rare, I'd suggest it would be less
risky to get a 5.25" drive and image them "in place" rather than
remail the floppies to someone else and possibly get them lost or
damaged in transit.  Plus if you're in the retrocomputing hobby, old
floppy drives will come in handy for other things.  Just my thoughts.

That being said, I have functioning 5.25" HD drives and would be happy
to image them for you if needed.
