Looks great!
I recently bought a repro version of this set from Chess Bazaar. I'm very happy with it. Are the pieces weighted, and how much did they cost?
Would love some more pictures, especially of the knights. Are they asymmetrical with only one side having the waves?
Happy to take more pics for you. I’m out for the night, but I’ll do it tomorrow. I just got an amazing repro set from oldset, and those knights aren’t symmetrical, they’re very cool. I’ll take pics of both. The pieces either aren’t weighted or just very lightly, they feel great. I think they were around $120. Definitely less than $200. I really like them!!!!!
Send me a private message w your email or cell. I’ll send pics, it’s just a lot easier than posting them here…..
Thanks so much. I really love that it’s old,has some ‘wounds’ nothing bad, but it’s just really cool to have an legitimately old set like this.
I’ll post some more pics tomorrow. Glad you guys like….
Congrats! It looks beautiful!
Beautiful! I think it's called Latvian set? Congratz!
Here are a few pics of the knight, 'waves' only on one side as you asked @Optimus
