French Jura, I would lean towards Chavet. Almost impossible to say the maker for sure with these French sets unless the box is marked. Calling it simply a 'mid-century French Jura set' seems safe to me.

@ferpsesan Possibly. I have a similar set I think was probably made by Chavet based on piece shapes and the finishing. Let me guess this set is a 2.75" i.e. 70mm king? This bishop looks particularly Chavet to me. I suspect that not all Chavet-made sets have the knight Chavet is famous for, some sets manufactured for export/rebranding had this style of knight. Or perhaps these sets I am speaking of are "Chardy" sets, where there is some workshop collaboration happening between the Jura makers.
Looking for pointers on identifying this chess set as it has sentimental value. Reportedly purchased in St. Louis in 1962. Will take better pictures next time I have access to the set.
