Sorry, me again: Where do you checked this? A set close to those used in 1951 and 1963 has been used (approximately!).

Done! I refreshed the pic of the set used in 1954. The picture is a close up of the front page of the book "world chess championship 1954".

Calm down Martin, of course it's the pic i sent and you used back in your post; although i never said it was a Dublin pattern. In my answer to your question whether it was a Dublin or not, i just meant to inform you the set was a saint-georges...
