      I have one just like it, I've mentioned before I need to get it out and post it...
      I bought mine from a Vietnam vet back in the late 80s. He told me he brought it back from Vietnam. I will tell the full story when I post mine...sometime today. (promise...lol)
      The tiles he said are bone. My chess figures are wood, yours seem to be something else.
      But the board is exactly like mine.

      I have a very similar chess set. The board is the same but the pieces are big pieces of ivory. My uncle bought it for me in the late 70's or early 80's. I have been trying to get it appraised but no luck. The board is supposed to be oak and the tile is marble.
      Does anyone know of a appraiser?
