Fergus Duniho correctly points this assortment of pieces goes back 500 yrs.(Regina Rabiosa's debut), so hardly original.

No, I didn't mention anything earlier than Carrera's Chess, which is just under 400 years old. I don't know what Regina Rabiosa is.

[EDIT: I now realize that Regina Rabiosa is Latin for Mad Queen, one of the original epithets for Modern Chess.]
