This is a full set of chess pieces, bought in Greece in 1963 by my in-laws on their honeymoon. They appear to be handcrafted solid brass and nickel; weigh approximately 10 lbs altogether. Tallest piece stands approximately 4.5 inches. Wish I knew more about it as I've not seen anything like it out there.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

I purchased this set with the board at a flea market near Lynchburg,VA. The sellers new nothing about it. Thank you.

There is some foreign writing on the board, I'll take a picture and post it.
