Info on “Swedish Club Chess Set” (1937 7th Stockholm Chess Olympiad)?

Chessbazaar is offering a Swedish Club chess set which they’re implying is a reproduction which was used at the 1937 Stockholm Chess Olympiad, but I can’t find any information about this set.

Does it look anything like Swedish Club sets that were used around this time? Does anyone have photos?

And do you know anything about the origin of this design? Apart from the large cross finial on the king, this design looks more Soviet than European to me. But maybe I’m just not familiar with Scandinavian chess sets.

Thanks! Looks like a pretty accurate reproduction, apart from the knight looking more polished.
