Large vintage wooden set

To be honest, I got this vintage xiangqi set off eBay for two reasons: I really liked the box it came in. And it was cheap. The listing didn't show much else, so it was a bit of a gamble, but you have to admit, it's a nice box, right?

When the set arrived and I opened it, I was pleasantly surprised by what was inside: Chinese writing and drawings, and a wooden board.

Remove the board to find two trays with the pieces.

Underneath those trays, more Chinese writing ...

... and the trays themselves have more Chinese writing. Lot more than I expected!

The board itself looks quite nice itself ...

... and although the pieces themselves aren't anything special, they look fine on the board.

Gamble paid off, as far as I'm concerned!
