With the close of the war, the ACF officially ceased to exist on 16 April 1920, only to be revived in 1939 with the outbreak of the Second World War. The ACF officially closed on June 27, 1946. This particular example of an Australian made wooden chess set is typical of the style issued by the ACF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The original set was designed without any religious symbols and we've reproduced the same.

Original sets are extremely rare and expensive to buy for chess collectors. So, we've launched it at a very reasonable price and kept the design of the set as close to the original as possible.
