B…Lord of the Rings pewter chess set

Description

Solid pewter Lord of the Rings chess set. Dimensions:  2.5″- 5″ tall (pieces).This set was designed and created by Graeme Anthony and yes It is supposed to have 7 orc pawns and 1 gollom pawn on the dark side.The configuration of this set was worked out back in 1973 and the characters chosen were taken from all of Tolkiens books , hence it was called “The War of the Rings” and not “The Lord of the Rings”.The reason I used Ents and Smaug as the Knights was because if you study the make up of chess sets before Lord Staunton standardized them you will notice that very early sets had Horses and Elephants and other animals as knights.I just followed suite.

Board not included but can be purchased from Royal Selangor or other boards to suite may be purchased from any good games shop.
