Re: Antique Ivory Chess Set

Hi there,

Is there any signature shown on the bottom of the kings and queens?

If so could you please show some photos?

Thanks!

James

Re: Antique Ivory Chess Set

There are symbols carved on the bottom of both the kings and queens. They are too light to show up in a picture. I attempted to trace them here:

Re: Antique Ivory Chess Set

Thanks for tracing the signature.

I couldn't recognise what characters are they.

How about taking a photo of the bottom of dark coloured king and queen?

I'd like to see some cross hatching of the ivory.

Thanks!

I was able to get a decent picture of the signature on the queen.
