IpswichMatt you are right.
But the strange thing is, no manufacturer is currently making a knight that is even close to the beauty of the B210 Knights!
Antique Jaques are elegant and beautiful, but there is beauty in simplicity and functionality.
The vintage Chavet sets were both!
I have in my collection, very high quality reproductions of Jaques and a ”Chavropa” (see Ronbo’s ”Chavet Purists Forgive Me”) that I had a woodcarver add weight to.
The ”Chavropa” pieces weigh 52 ounces now.
The Jaques pieces stay at home on an elegant chess table surrounded by leather wingback chairs; snobby English club looking decor, some would say.
The 3.75” Chavet (really a Chavropa) goes everywhere!
Chess Club, coffee shops, tournaments, it stays in my car and it is what I play 90% of my chess on.
It’s much nicer than plastic but I don’t worry about it getting damaged.
I get compliments on it all the time and “Where can I get that chess set?”
The pieces are designed for play and are incredibly tough.
I have dropped them a few times but no damage so far, thank god.
If I was a billionaire I’d probably own lots of Jaques antique sets (like Crumiller) but I bet I’d play most my chess with a Chavet B210!
That is if I could find one, lol.
. I think Chavet had the coolest knights in the stable. Here's my B-210 (left) and B-212 (right) knights side by side. The B-212 Pieces are (for the most part) larger than the B-210 all except for the knights. They are only slightly larger. The B-212 was the Kasparov - Kramnik 2000 WCC set in case some didn't know. 
I wouldn't confuse the antique/vintage chess market with the market for sets made new today. Just look at the current Jaques line up on their website, which attempts to create sets of equal quality to old but fails miserably.
Indeed, but the old Jaques sets are intricately made and quite delicate, whereas these sets are so crude that they should be easy to reproduce accurately.
