Is it St George pieces ?

Hi, I am just into the chess collection recently as my kids start learning to play chess. I have just bought a set from the local market place on facebook, but I am not sure what the set is and where it came from. From what I googled on internet, these pieces look like the St George style but cannot find the exact similar set. The king is 9cm.  If you know and can tell me, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Anna

They appear to be St. George

The more I look at your set. The more it looks like a Calvert set and not a St. George set. Pre-Staunton design for sure.

Hi @annapham2012 - firstly, I am absolutely not an expert so please take what I say as purely observational - as opposed to evidence-based.

Note the German-style St George pieces pictured on the Chess Museum site here.

The german-style St George set is at the bottom of the page linked above and numerous pieces look similar to your set - particularly the undercut rooks. 

Whatever they are - you seem to have a lovely historical set even if someone has rather cruelly beheaded the knight! 

Thanks @Powderdigit and @KnightsForkCafe

After checking both St George German-style and Calvert style, I am more convinced it it St. George German style based on the description of the simplified head of the knight and similar looks for the rook. However the base/bottom of my set is a bit different.

I cannot find a second picture of St.Georger German style on internet beside the one in the chess-museum site. 

BTW, The chessboard in my picture is from the Yugoslavia chess set. 

Hi again @annapham2012 - glad to be of assistance. Another site worth exploring is that curated by Holger Langer (@EfimLG47 ). This page on that site may provide more information:-

Sorry, I discovered this thread just now. Thanks @Powderdigit for notifying me. The style is St. George albeit a bit unusual. Even though I am not 100% sure it I tend to say it is a German (or Continental) variant rather than English. You can find knights like this in a number of early 20th century German sets, i.e. knights with a rather slim head on a wider turned base. I believe that these knight heads were made by sawing the rough outlines out of a not too thick piece of wood with a band saw and then only rounding off the edges a little and working out the details. In this way, it was possible to significantly reduce the large amount of work involved in carving, as this accounts for the largest cost factor. One must not forget that the costs for the production of the four knights make up about 1/4 of the total costs in the production of a chess set.

Sawed knight heads are also a distinctive feature of bone games made in Germany. This one looks entirely different in style, but I think the approach was the same.
