Oops re-read your request. Here's one with wide collar bishops I haven't seen before ... 

This is a Windsor set.  HoS has done an exact (and I do mean exact) replica, except it's in wood. I asked if they were planning on coming out with a plastic version (I have twoin wood) and they said, no.

My profile picture is me with a HoS Windsor set.  I also have a NoJ Dubrovnik; and in fact the link to a Fischer interview on their site in which he discusses his favorite Dubrovnik set has Bobby answering a question that I had sent in to him on his "Moonfischer" email account years ago.  The email handle that the interviewer uses to identify the questioner is the first part of teh email address I used at that time, when I was director of social work at a medical facility.

The last time I compared the plastic and HOS wooden Windsors, I came away thinking that the HOS knights were smaller than the originals? Did you ever play on the plastic ones?
