We bought this chess board and pieces in Istanbul, Grand Bazar as a memorabilia for our trip.

 

Upon opening the box we found out we are missing one of the knights.

 

Can someone identify this  set? Thank you.

Think about how much more memorable the set is now...

 You sure it was Istanbul, not Constantinople?

It's a standard German Knight set with carved based. You could replace the piece with a German Knight set of the same king size, but the bases will be plain.
