and here's another 6, which I'm trying to get. It has the same characteristics as the xxl that I already have. to be continued...
Oh my, another one I'm drooling over! What's with that queen? Never seen one like that.
Brilliant, thanks!

Another set that I have trouble identifying. No mark on the box. Club size. The more I compare it to Club de Chavet or Club Lardy, the fewer doubts I have. And you ?

And for those who like to compare, here is a little puzzle. Answer in a week ;-)

I have size 5 (KH88mm) Lardy and Chavet and both are exact the same except for the knights. I inclined to believe it's Lardy made by Chavet because the bishop and queen is more Chavet like than Lardy.

Sweet! Is that handwritten by Henri Chavet himself?

To my shame, I don't own a Chavet...yet. Those are exquisite and that's also a beautiful board Walter. Thanks for sharing.

eBay, Sir! B210 prices are, well, pricey but you can find a B207 every once in a while. There are some smaller sets available too but not for cheap.
Whoaaa the first one is another gem! The 2nd is intriguing alright! Not a Chavet though but still I like it very much! Either the knight is oversized or the monarchs are small, but judging from your question I think it's a really big set, 12cm KH and 64cm board?
140 cm the board and 27 KH
