Unfortunately, Nahuel, I just can't tell from that picture. I have seen commercially reproduced sets that have many characteristics of the Petropolis sets, but are significantly smaller and differ in a number of other aspects.

Many thanks, Nahuel! Will do! I hope to visit Argentina in the not too distant future, and I'll let you know if and when!
Hello! Nice reproduction!

The only reproductions I know of were done recently by Chess Bazaar.

I believe yours is a reproduction, no?

I am told by Brazilian collectors that there were no reproductions of the Petropolis pieces.

I strongly believe this is a reproduction... Whoever sold you these chessmen, either did not know, or just cheated... Here is an original set:

Gorgeous set. The opinions were from others than the one from whom I acquired it, and reproduction or not, I can assure I wasn’t cheated. Who reproduced the set before Chess Bazaar?

Thanks for sharing this. Great set. For me especially nice because I am from Brazil. Somehow I don’t like the knights that much.

However, I like the knights from the original set, also the king is great.

I do not know any reproductions besides chessbazaar... Well, I collect chess sets too, but I bet you have vastly more knowledge than me, so I will take your word for it...

Daniel, when I acquired the set, I thought it to be a reproduction. Then I received information from other sources that there were no repros. I don’t know the truth of the matter, only what Brazilian collectors told me, and I really don’t want to make a claim one way or the other. It’s also likely that my set is of the version used in 1979. What’s the provenance of your beautiful set?

Hello! I bought mine from a collector here in Brazil... In 8 years I came across a lot of sets that look like Petropolis 73... Never found one until 2 months ago when I came across this one... This set looks exactly like the ones in the photos of the tournament... I'm trying to come across Henrique Mecking in a tournament so he can autograph the box for me... Also, it is totally possible that your set is from 79, but I have no Idea...

Thanks for the info. Great idea to get Mecking's autograph. That would be awesome.

It seems the photo in your original post disappeared. Do you have a side profile photo you could share?
And do you have a link to the Chessbazaar reproduction? I can’t find it, nor any photos of it.

@WandelKoningin Cgrau’s original pictures, as far as I remember, were from what seemed to be a reproduction of the set used in the 1979 Interzonal in Petrópolis.
You can find a video with chess bazaar’s reproduction here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N2-YQ9NpWOQ
Daniel’s set, on the other hand, is the same model used in the historical 1973 Interzonal in Petrópolis. These are very rare nowadays :)

Nice reproduction! I wonder why they discontinued it.
