Quantity
Original antique Soviet wooden chess set.
There are many 1950s period soviet small chess sets that was made very good. This one of them.
Good shapes of chess pieces, quality made chessmen. This time was the best period, as the artels worked and each artel produced a decent interesting model of high-quality chess. Since the end of the 1950s, the artels ceased to exist and chess began to be made more primitive.
Board size: 31×31 cm., cell is 3.4 cm.
King is 7.9 cm.
Bishop is 6 cm.
Pawn is 4 cm.
Chess board didn`t come with these chess pieces but it is the same 1950s period, I put it as example that the chessmen suit the 30 cm. size chess board. The board is antique but not good, so I can ship the chess pieces only, shipping will be less, not chess. Let me know. The finial of the white king seems to have been re-glued.
