Rooks looks like from other set. All pieces have same base except rooks.
Otherwise a nice set. Though I prefer clock more :)
Pretty sure the rooks are original to this set. The bases are not materially different. The stain is the same. The wear is the same. They are weighted similarly. They all have the same blue cloth bottoms. And they are proporportionate to the other pieces. I just had the two clocks cleaned. It runs very well.
Can you compare your real rook base with one in photo by UpcountryRain
To me they have different proportions.
Z--here is former women's World Champion Ludmilla Rudenko playing on this set. The rook appears to be the same design as in my set.
Nice pics, Thank you for posting. Hope, that I will find an affordable, similar set one day.
I love the price for the board - 1 ruble 90 kopeykas

Rudenko later with a different, but similar set...
Where did these pictures come from? Looks the same game.

They came from Google searches. I don't recall the sources. It certainly appears to be the same game.

There are two modern reproductions of my set. One by Chessbazaar, and the other by Kadun. While I hope to compare my set to the others in a separate post, here are a couple of photos for comparison...
The Kadun set looks to be very finely done.

Some shots of my Chess Bazaar set. A great playing set despite the husky lines and supersized knights...

Great pic! Thanks for making me drool Chuck!!
Very sleek lines! Fantastic set, matched with a great board!
Many thanks, QK. The board is homemade.
