Help me with these chess pieces

Hi everyone ! So, I hope to find some help with these wonderful chess pieces that my dad recently got. He's a collector but these ones are giving him a hard time. He likes to know where his pieces are coming from and I hope that some of you might help us ! The only few things we know are that they were probably made in Italy, it's either brass and silver or bronze and silver and finally there are a few pieces with 'cast' stamped on them as you can see in one of the pictures. Any help is appreciated and my dad will be very grateful ! Thanks

From my understanding, this is what it is.

This is the pieces on a chess.com board.

Hi ! Sorry about the placement, my dad organised it quickly to show me. I meant about the origin of the pieces, the brand, where it was made, when... anything about their story basically. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

ahh, i didnt read really quite well the question, my fault . can you tell me how the pieces feel like? does it feel woody or metallic?

i tried doing some research online, but there's nothing talking about this set.

the closest ive come is this:

hope it helps!

No worries ! I appreciate your help. They feel metallic and they are quite heavy as well

might just be a painted metal... does look really heavy though. i have a pretty similar set but it is wooded, so i cant really help here.
