Handsome set
Easy to read, durable material, satisfying weight. The weird horse eyes are charming.

I love them. Only thing I would change is having larger pawns. Only a personal preference. Great set.

German Knight Staunton Resin with Black & Aged Ivory Pieces
This is an excellent set. I bought this one and the wood grained version. Both sets are terrific. A matter of taste whether you prefer the black & white versus wood grained. Each version is tops in its class.
