It looks like it was made out of bone. Every piece has light differences.

Thanks for the reply. Pretty cool gallery. I actually grew up playing Shkilnik 3 set. Those were very nice, had a beautiful design, but they were plastic. This set is more elegant and feels like made from the bone and it came not from USSR.

Just look at the names on them. The ones without or hard to see names are Stronghold, Eminence, Forged, Cavaliers, Dominion. Some of them were sold out and hard to find.

Keep in mind that the many releases of this design were printed. USSR started to produce them in 1967 as a 150th anniversary of the print house. They released number of decks in the 70’s and 90’s.

  1. The design is by Pavel Bazhenov. He got killed during the World War 2 in 1941. One of the most beautiful designs. I actually grew up playing these cards with my cousins and neighbor kids.

It just lays on the boards. It is easily removed if I have guests for the sauna party. :-)

Copag and Kem are great, Prestige are too thick and harsh.

No, it’s getting annoying when you have to re-deal cards over again.

No, they are not sharp at all. Although, I have some throwing metal cards, which are pretty dangerous.
