It is a spanish set.
The most important manufacturers were MARIGO and indajesa
to me it looks like 50s, 60s...maybe another manufacturer or an early design from indajesa.
I would say indajesa because of the quality, which seems good
It must be post war, because of the king. So not before 50s
Best regards
Wicked knight.
Looks so cool, old-relic wooden. Really nice.
Have fun.
True, very nice.
if you decide to sell at any time, let me know ☺
Thank you Ganz for your very quick, interesting and informative reply. From the moment I saw the set I loved it. It wasn’t just the size (the king is 85mm) that matches and looks amazing on my late father-in-law’s lovely board, but also the rich patina, the unusual shape, the quality of the set and the fact that it has been looked after and loved over the years.
What a find! Very nice.

Thanks to you for the sharing!!
Hi! Great set. Nowadays is manufactured by Mora Viraf. I recently bought a used one, made by them, that someone brought to Argentina and is in the mail, it will arrive soon. I'll see if I can upload some pictures. It's a classic spanish set. Love the horses, really unique. Congrats!
I took the photos from the post as I don't have them physically yet. If you are interested, I can upload others when they arrive. Again I think the knight is awesome. Saludos!

here's another set, this time a N°5, a bit smaller
Although I’m 63 and played on and off when I was younger, I have always wanted to get back into playing chess more regularly. And now I have the time. I have had a board that my father-in-law made back in the sixties when he worked for a company in the East End of London producing chess, backgammon boards etc and over the years I have l looked for a set that would grace the board he gave me. I happened upon this set, in a charity shop of all places! I think you will agree it looks great on his board!? I would dearly love to know the sets age and maker. To me it looks fifties/sixties and looks like a French Staunton design, but then again it resembles Lardy or an E.S. Lowe set, or a Spanish set? But I’m really only guessing and probably completely wrong.
So I would greatly love to get any feedback from people on this site, who have much more knowledge than me. But I’m learning!
kind regards,
Kevin.
