Hermann Ohme chess set / OG?

Avatar of JMolesworth

Came across a set at an estate sale recently. It's a wood version of the Hermann Ohme set.

I read in another post here the son of Hermann Ohme describe how his father would cut pieces from the same wood, bore a hole for pouring in the lead weighting, then lacquer and apply the felt bottoms by hand. These pieces are definitely weighted and still have their felt. Condition is what you would expect from a set that is flirting with 60+ years old. So am wondering if it's an OG and what the value might be....anyone know how to tell for sure?

thanks for any info that can be provided...!

(and yes, in the second photo I am award the knights and bishops are incorrectly placed)...
