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!!!!!

Thank you for the pics! Very nice set.

Cracking set. Definitely an older edition looking at the shape of the knights. 1950's in my opinion. Great find, enjoy!
