Description from the seller
Exclusive themed chess set: Romans vs. Germans – Heavy pewter cast
Selling a meticulously crafted, high-quality chess set for collectors and enthusiasts. The set impresses with its solid figures and historical motif.
Set features:
• Theme: Classic duel “Romans vs. Germans/Vikings.” Each side is individually and intricately designed.
• Romans: Soldiers with trireme-jumpers and Corinthian columns as rooks.
• Germans: Nordic warriors with dragon-boat jumpers and watchtowers.
• Material: Solid pewter alloy (pewter-look) with a beautiful antique finish. The bases are padded with red felt to protect surfaces.
• Weight: Very heavy edition! The figures weigh a total of 2,870 g (about 2.9 kg), indicating high value and stability.
• Accessories: A matching wooden-look chessboard with coordinate labeling is included.
Condition:
The set is in good, used condition with a charming patina.
Note: On two figures from the Roman side there are small flaws (one broken head and one figure detached from its base; see close-up photos). This is easily fixable for hobbyists or collectors, and the price takes this into account.
