These historic Jaques sets all come with signed authors copy of the Jaques collectors guide and insurance valuation.
The design of this set is known in the modern codex as the early “Lasker” . The practice of adding historic chess champions names to styles of Jaques chessmen is a modern practice which Jaques never used historically , although it is a great system to easily help identify specific Jaques Staunton Chessmen.
These are genuine antiques! Great to play and a good investment.
