Antique Campaign Brass Chess Set Edward Harris 1919

This is a truly unique and rare Brass Chess Set, a piece of history dating back to 1919.
It is housed in a campaign-style wooden hatch box, a testament to its durability and in remarkably good condition for its age.
The pieces are all made of solid brass. I believe that half of them were painted black, and the other half were left in their original condition. The black ones have lost their colour due to their age and usage.
I was unable to find anything the same on the entire internet.
I believe this was made or belonged to Mr Edward Harris, who probably was an army officer looking at the design of the box and metal handles.
It will be a nice addition to any chessman.

The approximate size of the King is 5.5cm.
