In the seventies, my parents bought this set - which apparently wasn't cheap - but never really played with it.
My father passed last year, and my mom moved recently and didn't want to take the set along, so I adopted it.
There's a rather pretty board to go with it, but I haven't had the time to take pics of it.
I kinda like the tall elegance if the king and queen :-)
The pawns look very bavarian / alpine
Has anyone seen pieces like these before?
A few more pics, with the board
The website finerpieces.com run by Ciaran Rochford deals with many vintage figurative chess sets similar to yours, albeit much fancier. If you send him a polite email with clear photos, he might be able to help. Good luck!
