Help identifying a Chavet chess set

Hi,

Please can anyone help in identifying this Chavet chess set? The King stands at 3.75” and weighs approx 40 grams. One of the pawns has a wood knot. I can’t find much information on it and am not sure if it’s genuine or a reproduction set. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like a genuine B210. Can you recheck the king height. Vintage size 6 Chavet had a c3.65" King. Very nice. I think it's a bishop that has the knot.

Thank you Audioq! Re-checked the King height and it is 93mm with a 38mm base - It was the Bishop with the knot, had taken the photos a while back but couldn't upload. Thanks so much for your help, it's put my mind at rest happy.png
