Must have: IDF Tzahal Chess Set

I used to have a renaissance chess set. This one surpasses it by miles. It's the Israel Defense Forces chess set.

The description says:

Sterling Silver IDF Chess Set

A masterpiece unique artisan large 925 sterling silver (NOT silver plated) IDF (Israel Defense Force) chess set. Comprised of 32 highly detailed and outstanding IDF related pieces representing the various corps in the Israeli defense forces, 16 made of sterling silver (for the white pieces) and 16 made of gilded sterling silver (for the black pieces).

The pawns are designed as soldiers, the rooks are shaped as missile boats, the knights are as mobile gun, the bishops are as patrol jeep, the kings are as combat pilot standing beneath his F-15 and the queens are as queen driving a Merkava tank (the tank is considered to be the queen of the battlefield).

The wooden case is topped by a removable wooden cover, set with a silvered and gilded metal playing board, centered by the IDF logo inscribed in Hebrew "Tzva Haganah Le'Israel" (Israel Defense Force).

This set was made in the electroforming method. An extraordinary set which will amaze any observer, sure to be the highlight of any game or display, and bound to make an excellent gift to any chess lover. Price : $1850.00
