Vintage Soviet weighted wooden chess set — "Mordovskie" (or sometimes "Latvian-Mordovian" or "Camp" / GULAG) dating from 1962 — a great gift for men, chess lovers and collectors!!!

**********************

Inside the chessboard, there is a presentation inscription:

"To Kolya on his birthday.

I wish you victory always, everywhere, and in everything.

July 9, 1962"

The inscription can be removed if desired.

Considering their age, the chess pieces and board show signs of wear but generally look quite good. New finials (tops) have been made for the figures of both kings. The tip of one brown bishop has been restored (final). All the pieces are weighted.

- The chessboard shows signs of wear and has scratches. A new latch has been installed.
