1970's Medieval / Crusader figural chess set - sometimes sold as Camelot, King Arthur, or Norman vs Saxon.

Age:

Early to mid-1970s. Made in Western Europe, most likely West Germany. The style, the cardboard divider box with green felt bottoms, and the cream / deep red colorway are all textbook for that period. 

Material - not ivory, bone, or stone:

It's molded hard plastic / poly-resin. Collectors often call it "crushed stone resin" or "hard plastic" because it's made to look like antiqued ivory/bronze. 

• The cream color is off-white plastic with a dark brown antique wash rubbed into all the incised detail to make the carving pop

• The red/burgundy side is the same base plastic painted dark red with the same brown wash.

• Bases have thin green felt glued on, typical for these vintage sets.

The figures:

• King - tall crowned king with sword

• Queen - long gown, holds a lute/mandolin

• Bishop - armored knight with hand on chest

• Knight - horse head with ornate caparison / scale armor - this is the piece in your first photo

• Rook - round castle tower with brick detail

• Pawn - foot soldier with two-handed sword

I picked these up at an Estate Auction about 20 years ago.

They don’t appear to have ever been used.
