Slightly Imperfect 1933 Botvinnik Flohr-I Soviet Chess Set

Having recently received this beautiful replica it has have become one of my favorite sets for playing, for not only is it made with diligence and attention to detail it is also very playable. Despite being sold as "slightly imperfect" I find it of excellent quality and finish...personally I even wonder if it is not, in fact, of a higher production quality than the originals were :) I say that as I have many (amazing) original 1930s Soviet chess sets, and almost invariably they are "imperfect" in the eye of today :)

I'm puzzled as to why these are considered imperfect! They are very high quality and a joy to look at.
