I have been looking for a new chess set for some time and have decided on a Battle of Waterloo historical theme as im currently studying history at college.

Has anyone heard of W.U. Chess Sets? I have done some research and I cannot find any information on them, but there is a nice looking hand painted set for sale on Ebay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/W-U-CHESS-SET-BATTLE-OF-WATERLOO-HAND-PAINTED-SET/273694461223?hash=item3fb9760d27:g:B2wAAOSwaEZcXxru

Would anyone recommend buying this set? Or perhaps recommend a different brand? I would prefer a painted set rather than bare metal.

Thank you

Visiting countless antics shops might be the best tactics, price wise as well.
