GERMANS VERSUS BRITISH HOME-MADE CHESS SET

Item Details

Description

GERMANS VERSUS BRITISH HOME-MADE CHESS SET
Excellent complete set of 32 porcelain chess pieces, each between 3" and 5 1/2" tall, depicting the opposing World War II-era forces of Britain and Germany. On the British side, the castles are represented by a cigar-smoking Churchill, flashing his iconic "V-for-Victory" sign, while the knights are represented by a saluting Field Marshall Montgomery in a tank, and the bishops by a British bulldog. The king and queen, naturally, are the King and Queen of England. On the opposing side, the castles are represented by Goring with his Field Marshall's baton, while the knights are represented by Rommel with his binoculars in a tank, and the bishops by an eagle perched atop a swastika. The queen and king are represented by Eva Braun and a comically saluting and bellowing Hitler. The pawns on each side are represented by the common soldiers of each nation. Each piece was created from a mold, but all are individually hand painted, and were likely made in England during or immediately after the war. Churchill's finger on one castle has been expertly repaired with a metal pin, with some negligible chipping to the paint on one or two figures, otherwise all are in remarkably fine condition
