This set is "transitional" model of Soviet Grandmaster chess pieces between the old Grandmaster chessmen of the 1950s where all the chess figures and kings/queens finials were made of wood and the Grandmaster chessmen of 1980s when the chess figures began to be made more simplistic with both plastic knights and finials.
This chess set is nearer to the old original of 1950s period as you can see wooden white knights, carved rooks, figured pawns that made very good, but black knights and kings/queens finials made of plastic yet.
Cool Grandmaster chess pieces.
